#1 U.S. troops were irked that, once again, the mass media got lazy and didn't bother to report the action accurately.

If you wanted to work for a living, why would you want to be a reporter? Creative writing works with resumes as much as with a story.

For one thing, there was no "base".

No more than Rorkes Drift was a base either. Bets on the number of reporters, editors, and fact checkers who've ever heard of Rorke's Drift?
