A blogging Black Hawk pilot asks “are these reporters in the now-infamous MSM really that determined to see us fail in Iraq?”
His answer comes by way of an email from NBC “award winning” reporter, John Hockenberry.
2Slick baby,
Sorry, never would have expected an officer to speak so ignorantly. I’ve been in Iraq, Kuwait, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel. Jordan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Lebanon, and Pakistan. As for being ignorant of the military, ouch, wrong about that one too. I have two relatives buried at Arlington. But hey, making blanket statements about people seems to be a real talent over there at DOD. At least you know the difference between a real threat to our nation and a bogus half dead dictator (who was once on the CIA payroll). I feel better already knowing you are out there on the front lines delirious with self righteousness. Hey, you can call me a liar but I can’t compete with you guys… you’re professional grade. Hope your next promotion doesn’t take too long I’m really looking forward to paying you more money to protect me and my family so well. Thanks again 2Slick (the officer who is apparently embarrassed to reveal his rank)

With an attention to detail befitting his profession, Hockenberry had missed the letters CPT in front of his nick.
CPT 2Slick ;
I ask you- whose side are these people on? I’m on my second tour in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and I won’t even pretend to know the answer. But I don’t like what I’m seeing.

White Flag Update – Hockenberry extends an olive branch. And 2Slick marvels at the power of the blogosphere.
Absolutely incredible. The only thing that surprises me is the dumbass didn’t think his email addy would be published. I see a lot of hate mail in his future.
Actually,I can’t decide who to be more pissed- off at; Hockenbery is obviously just another left/liberal windbag whose only recourse is to call people stupid if they don’t conform to his nihilistic world-view. You have to wonder though, what cave our friend 2Slick has been living in to get so outraged over standard media fare. We need to move beyond the “fact gathering phase” of this operation. The facts are in, have been for a long time, the treason of the intellectuals is not a recent phenomenon. Discovering blogs like this and others like it actually makes me cautiously optimistic that the bastards haven’t won yet
I can see his anger. He’s putting life and limb on the line each and every day just to have some reporter barf lies and half truths and misrepresent the facts to their own political ends each and every day. I see why he’s pissed, and I see blogs such as this one being the eventual end of the liberal media.
Now, back to my rum.
Yeah, well…I wasn’t really that pissed- was I? I was ranting a bit. I do that sometimes. Well, I’m certainly over it now- he says he learned a lesson, and now we’ll see.
