(POLITICO 2012) --- There are a few things to know about Hastings. The first and most important thing is that for Hastings, military perfidy is personal. He spent his mid-20s as a Newsweek correspondent in Baghdad when the violence there was at its worst. His girlfriend joined him there and, in 2007, was killed by Sunni extremists. Hastings wrote a book about it, called "I Lost My Love in Baghdad."
