Why are we giving all this attention to a described racist? Why can't we appreciate this story for what it's worth?sexyicecold said:I'd say he's a POS and the source of the story you posted should be considered. Nothing wrong with the info itself, but Bob Lonsberry is a prick.

Regardless of the author's aim, it was a noteable story even if you elminate the part where he takes issue with the television press.jim schmidt said:His aim wasn't to glorify the soldier, it was to villify the press. Its an old debating trick. Worked on some of you.
Aren't their press units attached to forward units? I remember major news outlets like Time, NY Times, Reuters, etc. had press personnel attached to divisions that were close or on the line. Maybe I'm wrong though.The press can't leave the Green Zone so they have no opportunity to cover positive human-interest stories about the good works of individual soldiers.
