Rolling Stone ‘Expose’ Exposed — The Rolling Stone expose alleging widespread thuggery by members of the 5/2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team in Afghanistan has been shown overblown to the point of dishonesty by war correspondent extraordinaire Michael Yon, a former Green Beret who has been covering combat in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2004.
Yon notes that the hope-it-dies-before-it-gets-older hippie mag mingled legitimate combat footage with a murder committed by a handful of members of that brigade who were subsequently turned in by a fellow soldier and prosecuted in due course all without media outcry.
