Hey, Jerry....take a deeeeeeeep breath.....I'm sure Alistair not only
knows the difference between the armed forces and the press corps - come
to think of it, that difference is getting mighty hard to discern these
days ;-) - but that he also understands the issue....

Alastair

Don't be stupid.  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.
