That is a @$#$^ miracle! a reporter that actually does his job! it is amazing how many reporters simply knuckle under to the editor for the sake of a career rather than get a book published to support themselves and them do the right thing going to the internet where there is no censor.

I talked to a couple of friend from high school who quit journalism in college because of what they said was a "bleeding heart" bias. their teachers were so focused on PC language, sensitivity and other feel good stuf that my friends could not express themselves. They simply could not right without having to use journalistic double speak, which totally destroyed the stories they tried to tell.

This guy desreves a pulitzer, but it won't happen. He is not PC enough.

The fact that's not in a print medium means he isn't eligible.

He's an author. And he has wrtten some great stuff. Find the one about Lt. Col. Kurella getting wounded. He was there, shot pictures as it happened. And when the 2 newbies there would not charge the enemy as they should have, he grabbed up a rifle and charged himself.

It the one currently posted on the main page.
