    Actually, this is false. Rumormongering by NBC, apparently. Rivera is
    still with the unit he was covering, though the military is apparently
    investigating whether he compromised opsec when he drew out a basic
    battle plan (which is not dissimilar to what retired generals were
    doing back at the studios of CNN, NBC, MSNBC, and FOX for the last two
    weeks) in the sand. The complaint about opsec violation came not from
    his unit, but from execs at NBC who needed to neutralize his ratings
    value for FOX given they were forced by advertisers to fire Arnett.
