I'd be curious as to when/where/for whom, your bro reported? Sounds like he did okay for us. And not a little integrity, here.
He was an embedded reporter for Businessweek during the Iraq war in 2003. He wrote personal essays about his harrowing experience. He was with that NBC reporter David Bloom when he died and accompanied his body on a helicopter to the morgue.
There was too much going on during the war for him to be feeding soldiers questions. Sounds like this Pitts guy has been with his division for a lot longer and has a bigger agenda than my brother,who was just trying not to get killed and report the facts !
