"Philip Smucker... was not embedded but joined the First Marine Division on Sunday"

I heard this guy describe how he and the photographer were in Iraq as independents and just "attached" themselves to a unit!!(for protection no less) The unit must have not wanted to cause bad pr or something but the guy seemed such a jerk I couldn't believe they didn't try to MP this guy out of there.

JOINED?

I don't think so.

More like "Attached himself like a parasite."
