I’ve read enough (at Blackfive) to question the character of Michael Yon.
What are they saying?
It’s been a long time since I looked at BlackFive. IIRC they were poo-poohing the eligibility issue and lost credibility with me. But I might not be remembering that correctly. And even if I am remembering correctly there could be reasons they poo-poohed the eligibility issue - just like the media had reasons (they were threatened with loss of job and possible death for them and their families if they reported on the issue). So it’s hard to judge credibility these days.
Is Michael Totten still doing war reporting?
