Journalist gets around embedded rules to help the troops he is covering while the national press corps act like the sheep they are. An absolute must read.
The press officer in charge of my regiment, the 278th, came up to me
afterwords and asked if my story would be positive. I replied that I would write the truth. Then I pointed at the horde of national media pointing cameras and mics at the 278th guys and said he had bigger problems on his hands than the Chattanooga Times Free Press. This is what this job is all about – people need to know.
