Before you embarrass yourself too much

Helmand Bl0gspot
Journalist Michael Yon posted a report this morning -
Bull**** Bob - it makes for interesting reading - and I seem to have been confused as the unnamed major.
Since May last year I have been pretty busy working within Media Ops. I have served in Kosovo with 2 RIFLES and Iraq within MND(SE) and I am now a week away from a tour in Afghanistan, somewhere I have not been since 2006.
I am currently in the UK and am not the unnamed major Michael Yon refers to. With any luck I will have the chance to meet and work with Michael when he returns to Helmand.
Kind regards
Major Paul Smyth
Besides the fact that public outings leave the nasty taste in your mouth, I think you may have the wrong bloke.
As for the
blatant self publicity while the boys are suffering
well that is something that you can take up with Maj Smyth, now that you have an avenue for communication with him, that is, through the Helmand Blog.
All the best with that one.
