So the number of news reports is the final measure of how genuine or important a story is? What a ridiculous conclusion, completely lacking in common sense. Here's the Huffington Post BTW, for anyone who is interested.

Again, lack of common sense. When you are serving in the military under military discipline and under a chain of command in addition to the loyalty and peer pressures and strictures of military protocol in the culture of the U.S. military, it is not the same as a cashier at McDonalds going to the Sun or an office temp calling Channel 5. The first soldier that does not go through proper channels or a proper legal advocacy group (as many did like the MRFF) but rather calls the newspapers will be ostrasized by all his peers and superior officers and has basically just ended his military career.
