He's on the official enemy list of this administration and their globalist cohorts who want to keep control of the information coming out of the theatre. Yon tells it like he sees it and the troops respect him. He had to be removed in McChrystal and Obama's plan to control all the information coming out of Afghanistan and they wanted to stop him from blowing huge holes in their dangerous ROEs by exposing their deadly results on our troops. They want Obama media propagandist lapdogs who will behave, not a real war correspondent like Yon.
Plus, Yon actually has the cajones to label a 'terrorist' a 'terrorist'. Something this administration has dropped in favor of our enemies.
“...My experiences with the U.S. military as a soldier and then as a writer and photographer covering soldiers have been overwhelmingly positive, and I feel no shame in saying I am biased in favor of our troops. Even worse, I feel no shame in calling a terrorist a terrorist. I've seen their deeds and tasted air filled with burning human flesh from their bombs. I've seen terrorists kill children while our people risk their lives to save civilians again, and again, and again. I feel no shame in saying I hope that Afghanistan and Iraq “succeed,” whatever that means....”~Michael Yon
I don’t think our bureaucratic, managerial, careerist, risk averse, waiting until retirement world likes that kind of view. It/the products of it’s schools, systems sees/feels that kind of energy as a threat. Plain talk, honestly said is a unknown language in positions of power now. Where is the era of argue, fight, drink up and make up? Now it is ‘I’m going to the gym with my Ipod and work on my lats’.
