Thanks very much for shooting me that link; I hadn’t read the story before. Turns out the much-vaunted “CSM Prosser beat a haji to death with his MICH” story is NOT true, but still one hell of a story, regardless.
I just have two questions:
1) What the HELL was that 2LT thinking?
2) How big a tool is that MAJ that grilled Yon about the weapon usage? He didn’t even try to get the 5 Ws. Typical field grade...
I get the feeling that CSM Prosser might’ve had a few words with those two afterwards?
Yon’s dispatches when he was embedded with the 1/24 are classics IMO...Ernie Pyle-level stuff. And honestly, men like LTC Kurilla are the kind of warriors that this civilian would LOVE to see with stars on their uniforms running things over there.
Yon’s had a bit of a dustup with a lot of milblogs recently—Blackfive, This Ain’t Hell, Mudville Gazette, some others. I’m not quite sure what the story is though.
