Former NBC war reporter Arthur Kent who earned the nickname “Scud Stud” during the 1992 Gulf War is moving into politics. He’ll be running as a Conservative candidate in Calgary,
“After 36 years as a reporter, much of it spent as a foreign correspondent witnessing the downside of gridlock and geopolitical conflict and war, I’ve come over time to believe we have to make the best of our communities,” Kent said. “Public service began to appeal to me more and more.” link
How many scud studs were there anyway? I always thought it was Rageh Omar who held that moniker, turns out I was wrong. At least in Canada.
