Lara Logan is the talk of FOB Salerno
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008A few months ago, attractive CBS chief foreign correspondent Lara Logan was at this very base reporting a story about the road that the U.S. is helping to build in central Afghanistan. The story aired on 60 Minutes a few Sunday’s back and was pretty good.
People here are still talking about the visit. In fact, as soon as I got off the plane, a female NCO mentioned Logan. “She’s smart, I’ll give her that,” said the woman. “But she uses her tits too much to get what she wants.”
Others here shared this view, saying that though she is definitely a good reporter who made a great story, she used her, shall we say, “feminine wiles” to great effect with the enlisted men and officers.
“A captain would pick her up at her tent and take her to the DFAC (dining facility,)” says one writer embedded here. “When she left I asked the guy, ‘Hey, when are you going to drive me to the DFAC, I always have to walk.’”
