The troops he is with are probably telling him huge lies about where they are, just to amuse themselves.They could be training in the Australian outback and that moron would report that they were on the Iraqi frontlines.

Same theory I have about a lot of DEBKA's and World Net Daily's sources....

The same thing happened in 96 with the Chinese shooting missiles over Taiwan. All kinds of reporters were flying out to the USS Independence to cover the big story. They were asking us how we felt about being so close to war with China, etc. We told them we weren't concerned at all, but it was kind of cool to see the Chinese coastline when we were airborne. Needless to say all their reports were filed "reporting from the Straits of Taiwan, this is Ken Brockman."

We were really a couple hundred miles to the east of Taiwan. What we actually were so cheery about was we got to fly for several weeks straight waiting for the whole thing to blow over.
