At sea for three days? All those seamen? Oh puhleez. Get a life, girlfriend.

As a veteran, I think journalists who really want to experirence life at sea the way THE REST OF US IN THE MILITARY do could always just JOIN THE DAMNED MILITARY and then report on it. They go on their junkits where they get treated "special" and don't have to pull watches, work 24/7 and respond to general quarters and then think they are "experts" on the military. Journalists who are embedded get PLAYED by the military brass. Its all a PsyOps way of getting the Pentagon's narrative out.

While we are on the topic of journalists. Here is a really important message from a REAL JOURNALIST, Ron Suskind:

I actually have no problem with Danny taking this kind of trip, but he was a real bitch about us going on trips.

Glover is just another jackass that didn't get to play "army" enough when he was just a little tyke. Now that he's all growed up and everything he wants to play "Jimmy Olsen" and ride with the real military without putting his ass on the real line.
Danny Glover, another worthless POS parading as a wannabe tough guy. So long as he's home before dark.

I could see a journalist arguing that such junkets are a form a bribery for good coverage, I could also see a journalist arguing that as long as whoever's paying for the trip is on the record in any subsequent articles, it shouldn't make a difference.

The issue here, obviously, is the hypocrisy.

Think about this for a minute, John. Don't you sort of equate this to a hypocritical Republican railing against homosexuality; all the while anticipating the free time he will have between flight connections in the Twin Cities and trying to decide exactly what he should do with that time?

What he claimed to be talking about was "going to sea with the Navy for three nights and two days …We departed … the morning of August 6 …" Either he was actually aboard a time machine, or he is unable to report even the most basic fact with accuracy. I'll guess its the latter.
