re: #5 Mattand

Saw this in a comments column a while back, so take it for what it’s worth.

Commenter was talking about how he was taking a class and overheard two classmates, both Iraq War 2 vets, discussing the media/reporters. The conversation boiled down to both soldiers saying they were fine with killing journalists if they could get away with it.

Things in America have changed a bit since Ernie Pyle’s day.

The military no longer feels the press is its friend. Hostile, ignorant, and at times dishonest reporting since Vietnam has created a wide gulf between those fight and those who report.
