Is Rick a reservist?
"Is Rick a reservist?"
I don't think so. He was with the Marines last year when they marched in to Baghdad. I think they earned his respect and admiration.
No Rick is not a reservist but he was embedded when US first invaded Iraq. He did a really good job of reporting in very difficult circumstances. Remember the sandstorms, he would report with sand so thick, you couldn't see him.
Then, they would have chemical warnings and have to get in their chem suits and sit inside the tanks for hours.
When they finally got to Baghdad, the group he was with were walking down the middle of the street as moving targets to draw fire from hiding terrorists.
He had probably seen the servicemen in every situation and should know first hand how brave they are.
