Alfred....have you read much of Von? Yours is the simple view of the situation when in effect it is far more involved. He has made enemies from on high with his reporting.
He comes close to being the Ernie Pyle of our time.
The truth is not very pretty to some of our Commanders....and there is a lot that needs to be aired. Way too many fine young men and women have been killed and maimed for no good reason.
His reporting tells the story as it is...not as the Army wishes it to be.
