Sitrep From 1st Sergeant Grainger:

"I think that the following information needs to get out to all hands to beware of the following correspondent with the Stars and Stripes. He has left the Fallujah area and is headed towards Ramadi. We weren’t aware until damage was done as to what some of his stories were up to. They started posting after he left. It’s not that he lied, it’s what he left out or took from one scenario and added to make it look like it was part of another story that brought the powers of above to put pain on my Marines. Until they got the whole story up to higher that is. Of course by then the damage is done to the younger Marines with all of the accusations and such. He did have some good stories but don’t assume because he works for the Stars and Stripes that his news stories are to motivate the Marines and soldiers in the AO as we did. In order to sensationalize headlines things were left out or made to seem as if they were something else. This gent use to work for the LA Times, not sure if that has a bearing or not as I don’t want to falsely accuse anyone of anything, I just want to warn you. I am not saying you should not have him over or talk to him or the stars and stripes but basically watch your ass or you will read about it. Monte Morin is the reporter."

1st Sergeant Grainger is not one to exaggerate, and if anyone sees this reporters name on a byline please notify me.
Once again it's MONTE MORIN. Soon to be wishing he'd chosen another line of work.
Thank you.
