You know, considering DeltAlum has a lifetime of experience in the field, I think I'm going to go with what he said. As I've learned in the past year or two, a degree means very little unless you can back up what you've done with experience. You can read a lot of books about something, but until you've been in the trenches at least a few months, you don't have a leg to stand on.

They do have other footage, and it's not just the American press. I watched the BBC Monday, and they had a mixture of footage--but the primary one was the examination. I agree that this is an important milestone in the American campaign, but more footage would have befitted those of us with better attention spans.
