The LTG looked like a dumb ass, allowed himself to stand next to an unsafe moron barley controlling the weapon....and he was the safety?
True enough, but I worked several years in television. If they want to make you look like a fool, they will. If they want to polish a turd, they can.

Many times I've heard Army guys, including SF, pronounce “cache” (hidden) as “cash-AY” rather than the proper pronunciation “cash”. “Cash-AY” (prestige) is spelled “cachet”.

Let's say that a massive WMD cache was found in Iraq in 2003 and the LTG on the scene was interviewed by CNN and said, “We have found a large cash-AY of WMD here today.” How do you think that they would have played that up? He would be made a fool of just like this LTG was.

Don't go on CNN. Or any network for that matter!
