Why doesn’t ANYONE ask the “Vanity Fair” person why they didn’t STOP the person who was killing our troops????? On Veteran’s Day... God help us.

That's not how I read the story at all. I understood the reporters to be embedded with the troops at all times, not forwarned of the villagers' betrayal, and being caught in the same attack themselves.

"We went from being the hunters to the hunted," said photographer Tim Hetherington who was with the troops when they were attacked last month.

Looks the same to me.

exactly... as an aside, he broke his foot during the mission but kept going for hours until they reached a village where he caught a chopper out and underwent surgery

Myself, I give kuddos to these two - they didn't report after and then spin = they lived it in real time with our troops - and I can tell you - what we saw is what went down
