Pretty interesting article about the downfall of Special Forces MAJ Jim Gant, who was dubbed by many, including GEN Petraeus, as "Lawrence of Afghanistan." Especially interesting for an ethical study since Gant's fate seems to have been sealed by reports sent to higher HQ by a "fresh out of West Point" Lieutenant. I only say "interesting" at this point because the ABC report is based on a forthcoming book written by Gant's in-country paramour/wife. I am always skeptical of sensationalist media pieces.
