#5  FWIW - Unlike 99% of journalists covering the war, Chris Chivers had worn the uniform. We served together in DS/DS on the 13th MEU. I ran into him in Kabul in Dec 2001 and he bought X-Mas dinner for the Marines guarding the US Embassy. While he's clearly on board w/the NYT, I've found his reporting to be factual and unbaised. I believe his younger brother was a Marine officer also.

All of those signallers should become "late" signallers as soon as they open their mouths. Since when do you leave the enemys recon troops untouched?
