What is most interesting to me about these "how being imbedded changed me" articles is how the authors seem to imply that they have somehow gone over to what they had openly regarded as the dark side. --And they are surprised that the US military is neither evil nor bloodthirsty. These people were clearly not prepared to find that reality didn't match their deeply harbored prejudices.
Obviously, it is possible to break through the Ivy League brainwashing. It is sad that it takes a war to do it.

I am so glad that we had the embeded reporters. It had to have the effect of, at the least, new respect for our military.
When I first heard Tory talking about this months ago, I thought she had lost her mind. {I remember Vietnam...}
It worked out wonderfully, and I appreciated the pieces of the war that I could see live on tv. David Bloom was my favorite...R.I.P. I surfed constantly.
