The Amry brass, however, does not want the Corp to get anymore press, or so it would seem.

You mean the press that kept beating the drum about the Marines "going in first" to "secure" Camp Rhino? The same Camp Rhino that a couple hundred Army Rangers dropped into for a look-see ... a full month before the Marines hit shore? THAT press?

Don't get me wrong. I love those Marines. (My husband would have been one if they would have let him jump out of a perfectly good airplane every once in a while.) But it was kinda rough sitting back here listening for weeks about the Ooorahs going in first, when it was really the Hooahs all along. And let's not even get into the whole "botched mission" crap that the press put out.

Rangers Lead The Way!

Marine Recon regularly jumps out of perfectly good airplanes and helicopters. Guess he couldn't pass muster.
