Yeah, that NYT scribe won't be hard to spot. He'll be the one in the "55 Chevy" that looks suspiciously like a Prius . . . .

So journalists who are embeded in an military unit must go through basic training so that they can survive the war zones..... I wonder, did the NYT journalist have to go through similar training?
I wonder what that training would look like if he did.... ?
