i served with Reuters, BBC, London, Independent Press out of France and UPI.
i did film and photo journalism. you may have seen some of my work. now what unit is it that you were with. maybe you saw me. i was the skinny dyke with the cameras.
once one knows the truth how do they continue. the Nazi's did the same damn thing and we all know what a mess that was.
Ok, so you can't speak for those troops, because you never served in Iraq, in the military. Thanks for clearing that up.
I view journalists the same way that Sherman did:
"I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are. If I killed them all there would be news from Hell before breakfast.”
With a few exceptions, that's the same level of journalism that exists today.
