my 2 cents on this is if they are on their own, not imbedded with the troops and they are in the war zone and something happens....it is sad and I will say prayers for their families, but they put themselves in harms way, if they are going to go for glory and get in the crossfire of a WAR and take their chances on getting shot...or worse killed it can only be blamed on them and not anyone else, especially our troops. It is a risk that they voluntarily take. I don't wish anyone to get shot or killed, but to blame our military for any journalists death is disgusting.

Ernie Pyle was killed by the Japs during WWII. A war zone is not a football game or building fire. There is REAL danger in getting "the shot" for the prize.
