Thought I’d do a play on words for this one. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for news reporters being embedded with the troops. As a matter of fact, I see nothing wrong with them being in bed with the troops … but that’s for another web site!
I think one of the NBC reporters died while embedded in Iraq and Bob Woodruff(?) from ABC took a hit in the head a few years ago. His recuperation was a long process. I’m sure there were others who have been hurt doing their jobs. You have to give them credit, putting it on the line with the troops. My hats is off to all who do …
I agree that there are some good reporters out there who put their lives on the line to see that the story is told. That’s all well and good, so long as they don’t give our troops’ positions away in the process.
