made people upset and they wrote the editors of who he was writing for... made the editors happy because it meant people were reading his stuff.

I don't know if you remember when he was on a mission against the .44 Magnum? Wrote about how they had to invent a sport to justify its existence? Said he would stand at 400 yards and let people shoot at him with the .44 Magnum and he would catch the bullets with a catchers mitt?

Then he wrote a piece about killing a Viet Cong with the .44 Magnum and how well it worked.

He knew how to turn a phrase and how to work up a crowd.
