Lack of Newsroom Diversity Clobbers Time
Here's where the absence of veterans in the subculture of professional journalism hurts Time Magazine.
From the same article:
Resistance [sic] fighters have begun to favor rpgs [sic], which are aimed by eye and, unlike missiles, don't alert the helicopter that it is being tracked. This means the targeted chopper will not fire the flares that draw heat-seeking missiles away from the aircraft.
Now, class--what's wrong with this logic? Think looooong and hard!
Were there no vets in the mid-town Manhattan Time-Life building office who could have caught this?
Well, how about at the Washington D.C. Bureau? They couldn't have hired a veteran?
Oh, I forgot. The only qualified veteran around Fort Lee, Fort Belvoire, Fort Eustice, Annapolis, and the Pentagon itself must have been hired by the Washington Post.
