he started to care about it when it would affect him, sure. then he tried to see that others don't share the same fate. People do that all the time. why does that make him anti-American? Are the soldiers that cheered anti-Amercan too?
Do we even know why they were cheering?
Do we even know WHO they were cheering?
Do you?
Never said they were.
I only said the reporter was not on some quest to aid the Military, he was out for a story, and when he found he was going to be on an unarmored car made that the story.
The soldiers can say/do whatever they want... they've earned it. Its the willful manipuation of the non career military to skew the reality to fit the reporter's intended story that is ant-american.
(IE He first figured out story subject, then created it by engineering it, instead of normal reporting. Note the 'need more armor' story has been around for LONG time, the story here is that a soilder is SO MAD that made the complaint in public to the SoD's face... an event the Reporter Engineered)
