I just saw some of the replay and it sounds to me like we have a local commander who is playing to the media. Maybe he pulls it off without affecting his mission, but I do not like it.
Now I am not trying to say that some of the most famous officers from WWII and other wars did not play to the media too. Who was the paratrooper who set it up to claim the first boots on the ground in France? Still I like the guy concentrating on his troops and mission not the guy focusing on the mike.

I suspect these CO's have been fully briefed about how to handle the embed's. I suspect his Lt. Col. was following orders, according to the plan.
