In Hastingsβs 2012 book, βThe Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of Americaβs War in Afghanistan,β Hastings wrote about being approached by one of Gen. McChrystalβs aides. βWeβll hunt you down and kill you if we donβt like what you write,β said the unnamed aide, who afterwards apologized to Hastings for his remarks.
Hastings later wrote, βI wasnβt disturbed by the claim. Whenever Iβd been reporting around groups of dudes whose job it was to kill people, one of them would usually mention that they were going to kill me.β
But never did those fears escalate the way they did during the final days and moments of Hastingsβs lifeβ¦
Thanks for this as I was struggling with what it is that I wanted to name the Society of Netizens members. Character with those positions on formation of said same seems like a strong contender. I like you have little time to read. Will try and speak with him.

McChrystal was loved by many in certain SMUs. The way Obama fired McChrystal was foolish as well. (thx RollingStone)
