Readers Attack, Defend Military Analyst Lightbody and Profile

While I was pleased to see Andy get the attention he deserves, I don’t feel he deserves the innuendo that he lacks credibility because of a lack of proper “credentials.”

My first contact with Mr. Lightbody came several years ago when, as a “booker” for several talk shows on KABC Talk Radio, I spied his name in the credits of one of the military magazines you referred to.

In the many years and many appearances that Andy has generously agreed to, I believe our listeners truly have benefited from his down-to-earth, common-man explanations of some very complicated matters. And he has never received one penny for these.

Unfortunately, I have had occasion to book highly credentialed guests who embarrassed us with their inability to communicate.

Whether at the last minute by telephone, or appearing for hours in the studio, Andy has always helped all of us understand the incomprehensible.
