I see some comments from freepers don't seem to like this article or the writer. I feel differently -- he seems like a decent guy doing a tough job.

The embedded reporter program has been a success for the most part -- I've read some great articles that came out of this program. This reporter seems like one of the good guys.

None of us had much difficulty with any of this. After all, anything that put the lives of soldiers at risk would be potentially just as dangerous for us.

I like the guy based on this statement alone. He may be a self-absorbed ass like many of the presstitutes, but at least he knows what side he is on. Unlike a certain American video photographer.
