The journalist has issues with me for an entirely different matter. I wrote a post about a major journalist who is missing in Afghanistan for more than four months. Problem is, the rest of the media has agreed NOT to report it. That is how I made friends in that professional circle in Kabul.

Thank you for all you have done and special thanks for taking on a task that seems to be an up-hill battle. Hope you post ALL the pictures you have or send them to me. Incidentally, some of us are very curious as to whom the jerk is who goes by the name of ‘John Smith’ from the “major networks”; we want to know what kind of piece he wrote, who sent him and to what agenda he was to serve. Our guys don’t need to have people out in the field with them who are looking to do a hit job on them; they need to know who has certain motives and who don’t. Being ‘ordered’ to take people on patrol with you is one thing, making them ‘comfortable’ and wanting to come back is another.

Thank you David and thanks to your family as well. I appreciated all the insight and while your comment on stepping it up a notch is telling as well as disturbing to this Marine mom, I know our Marines are up for the fight and it the terrorists that should be fearing out arrival.
