So far all I've seen is an attack on the embedded journalist by you. Gee a
reporter who is there, with the troops, helping the person ask a question,
and a reporter who writes about something he cares about.

BTW the reporter helped with the question on the Armor, The original post
in this thread dealt with different benefits of guard and reserve. So far I
have not read anything about those questions being 'planted'.
