Baah, lots of officers had their own shack ups
in every war, at least this guy had her on the
front lines. More power to them.

Read the book! He was betrayed because his work as a Captain was better than most generals.

Ann Scott Tyson, a Washington Post war correspondent, quit her job to live secretly with him on the front lines That was the key mistake. Ann should have keep her job, and then all involved could claim she was an "embedded" reporter.
Yep, poor pun intended.

Rules for thee, not for me. I’ve seen above the rules behavior from officers quite often, especially pilots. This goes beyond petty stuff like grooming standards, customs and courtesies, or other things that don’t make sense for the SF community down range. Anyone over E-7 seems to be a political animal these days, I do not like or trust 95% of these people. Too many people have been screwed because some Master is trying to make Senior, or Senior is trying to make Chief.
Isn’t it kind of foolish to put pictures of your team out for the whole world to see?

Interesting, to say the least.

This story has been out and about, the reason it is in the news now is because said girlfriend is/has written a book...publicity needed.

I doubt that the typical O-4 would be in long enough to get a standard (as opposed to disability) pension.I don’t know if that was his goal but if it was he probably missed out.

Just read the whole piece...looks like he signed up in the mid 80’s.He was just a few years shy of his 30 year (as opposed to 20 year) pension.

WTF is a Special Forces officer doing dating a Washington Post reporterette? They’re almost as big an enemy as Al Qaeda.

People lose their way sometimes. That’s why these long wars are bulls**t. Fight to win or stay out.
