It's no surprise that the media will fixate on their own brief mention in this book, but those who actually read it will discover it's about heroes - not reporters.

But of course the socialist project is that making yourself look good in print is heroism (virtual reality style). A soldier can die as none can better,

". . . facing fearful odds,
for the graves of their fathers and the temples of their gods"

- but what is that compared to rhetorically facing down a terrible domestic tyrant (who you are absolutely sure is actually perfectly harmless).

Do you think that the MSM hate the military? It certainly seems that way. If you're right, then they're probably mad that Cap Weinberger helped President Reagan win the Cold War.

[91B]

Then out spake brave Horatius
The Captain of the gate
To every man upon this earth death cometh soon or late
But how can man die better, than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods.
