"The Quiet Professionals" - Lara Logan not so Quiet or Professional?

Posted By Blackfive • [February 09, 2010]

60 Minutes' Lara Logan reports on ODA 7125 in Afghanistan. First, watch it. The first five minutes of Logan's reporting made me laugh out loud (who gives a @#$% how much a team member can bench press...unless he's throwing dumb bells at the Taliban).

Watch CBS News Videos Online

Then go read Tim's assessment over at Free Range International. I think it's safe to say that most of you guys will agree with the majority of Tim's write up.
