#1 I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are. -

#2 Our family Marine tells of several correspondents that were attached at one time or another to his squad in the 2003 Iraq invasion.

They whined a lot, got in the way during firefights and were always mooching extra MRE's. The guys would give them their leftover "Pasta with Vegetables", "Beef Slices in Barbeque Sauce" or "Chicken Ala King". All were especially 'nasty'.

They did have a few good ones though, as they were ex-military or law enforcement types. Knew what and what-not to do.
