Actually in an earlier post I put up...I pulled a quote from Pitts' editor PRAISING his work on the story.

No disciplinary action for this guy would seem to be forthcoming. Unfortuneately. If I'd been the Public Affairs Officer for the 278th...this guy would have been on the next plane OUT of Kuwait.

Oh, I know Pitts' editor praised his work. As I said, neither Pitts nor his editor give a wet slap what consequenses the troops pay for Pitts' actions or for the concerns of the troops families.

If it were me, Pitts would stay right where he is, the units let in on the score, Pitts handed from unit to unit and carefully spoonfed whatever outrageous fiction we could come up with...then after he writes a few more stories **SLAM** goes the mousetrap when the truth leaks out. Pitts is finished and some of the tarnish he created is buffed off of our military.

Paybacks are a b*tch, and so am I.

As for the soldier, he needs to stay stateside, closely watched and greasing bearings for the rest of his tour.
