Read the entire story of this noncommissioned officer. It's guys like him that make NCOs the "backbone of the Army"
And note the dig at the all-terrorists-all-the-time network...
While recuperating in the hospital, he was approached by a U.S. military officer in search of a photo opportunity. Obligingly, Walden posed with the officer from his hospital bed.
After the snapshot, the officer instructed 34-year-old to call home and tell his family "it’s not true." At the time, Walden said he had no idea why the officer made such a strange request. It was only later that he found out Arab TV station Al Jazeera had reported Walden and his Bradley members dead.
Today, alive and well, he carries a copy of the news report with him, along with the Purple Heart he earned to remind him of that Independence Day.
