Fascinating Story From The NYT

Here

Hollywood could make a movie about this incident. It reminds me of a scene in the Rob Reiner movie "A Few Good Men" when Jack Nicholson's Major character rants to Tom Cruise's lawyer character about how there are bad people in the world and the military's job is to stay in between those bad men and us good folks here stateside. That's quite often reality.

Mr. Davis sounds like a typical military hero caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. The media may try to spin this as some cowboy shit gone wrong, but my gut impression from reading a complicated story by the Times is that he was ambushed (as probably happens many times a day to foreigners in nice cars in the lawless hellhole that is Pakistan) and shot the guys. Betcha any amount of money that he DIDN'T shoot the robbers in the back, as the Pakistans cops (all crooks imo) are claiming.

There are a lot of fuckups in the military, but Davis, based on the description in the story, sounds like a good man, one whom we need more of.
