In the sense that a soldier and a war journalist both knowingly put themselves in harm’s way, yes.
Did you read his articles? Did you read what this “
delusional, naïve idiot of a reporter/photographer “ had to say about our troops?
I started reading his articles last night. Haven’t read them all but from what I have read I have not come to the conclusion others have that he somehow got what he deserved.
What I find most telling about this story is that Foley captured in November 2012, and hardly anyone even knew about his capture and long captivity until after he was executed. It sounds to me as if his execution was the only consequential thing about his career.
