He was not in the armed forces and could have chickened out any time he wanted. I am certain that he could afford the ticket back. I am astounded that you do not know the difference between the press corps and the armed forces. There have been a few reporters who said that they wanted out. They got out without any approbation. He wasn't chicken, just an idiot. If he were smart, he would not have sent the component shots.
