A Los Angeles Times photographer shot Lance Cpl. James Blake Miller smoking a cigarette in Fallujah, Iraq, Tuesday, Nov. 9, 2004 after U.S. forces punched into the center of the insurgent stronghold.

(From The Nation, 11/24/04)
Gazing lovingly at Miller, the CBS News anchor Dan Rather informed his viewers : “For me, this one’s personal. This is a warrior with his eyes on the far horizon, scanning for danger. See it. Study it. Absorb it. Think about it. Then take a deep breath of pride. And if your eyes don’t dampen, you’re a better man or woman than I.”
