@TheLtColUSMC He's insufferable. Pedestrian, boot-camp/BUDS-level advice and platitudes. All branding. Good on him for wringing it dry. Semper Fi, Mack.
Adams and Jefferson stopped speaking for over a decade after the election of 1800. Then they spent their old age writing to each other almost weekly. https://t.co/6TYnVekv5l
2001, six weeks after 9/11. The site was still on fire. Uptown, I was at a commanders symposium for Public Affairs. Line commanders would get an orientation to the facets of PA. We had a media panel featuring some heavy hitters, including Dan Rather. When asked a similar question by a commander. "If you were approached to do an interview with Osama Bin Laden, would you accept and would you tell anyone? At first, he said he would do it and not tell anyone. But after reading reactions in the room, he caved and said he would let defense officials know his location. Things are "fluid" with some media sometimes.
