Reporters, sit up and take notice...
This is how to write a story.
A keen grasp of detail, a sensitivity to the subjects. The writer does not call attention to himself. He becomes a medium for the marines to tell their stories.
It's obvious he's developed a rapport with these men, and lets it come through.
Best of all, there's no stupidy masquerading as "insight." Imagine the New York Times showing such self-mastery and restraint.
Outstanding stuff. We need more writers like this guy.
His name is Scott Peterson.
