Texkat,
What the soldier said may or may not be true, it is irrelevant. The issue is a breach of military unit cohesiveness initiated and encouraged by an embedded reporter with an agenda.

By the way, if I were over there, I would no doubt be scrounging for iron plate and glass to supplement the armor on my vehicle. Any military person would do it to increase their chances of survival. Heck, the Marines make a living at improvising with what they have. But you most likely won't hear them address the Secretary of Defense in that fashion.

My post to you was in response to your post in which you posted that the reporter should be fired.

I was just pointing out that his editor seemed to be fine with Mr. Pitt's actions.
