"But on so many levels, this article is so much Robert Fisk"
I have to admit it sounded kind of "Frisky" to me also.
I would have no problem believing she has an agenda nor do I believe she is changed forever. She won't be out buying "Old Glory" to wave in future parades for our war Vets.
I pretty much agree with all you say but ...I think she has a new appreciation for the USMC. I would like to continue to think that is so.
I had no idea a compliment could get so complicated.

We do see it a bit differently.
The reporter boasts about the harships of being Marine...yet: she rfused to go to battle, complains that she had only one hour a day to shower, hadn't had coffee in two days, lived in a tent, was on a ship and rear echelon command post, etc., etc.
See...my experience is a lot different...the 0311 doesn't have that sort of environment and her report portrays her as a real tough, had it hard embedded with the grunt and know the deal USMC environment...and it just ain't so, Bro...you know that.

I'd add Rick Levanthal to that list.
And I'm sure there's a couple others.
