I think to support the "private enterprise" of MSM imbedded among our troops in battle is wrong. Whos to say the MSM should be the only one to profit from war with nooooze and fabricated outrage to pursue their own political and personal agenda ?
Say if I was some "adventure tours" owner and wanted to send those willing to pay into battle so they too can get a first hand look at the fighting...why would Uncle Sugar pander to the presstitutes and not my enterprise ?
I think the media is a danger to the military operations and as such costing America it's sons and daughters lives .
Too all those that suggest the Military needs to be monitored etc I say BS as the Officers and NCO's appointed over these soldiers sailors airmen and marines are good people and if an atrocity is observed the UCMJ and other directives / policies are in place for just such criminal acts.
Just my opinion of course based on my own personal experience dealing with such stupidity imposed upon me and my troops over my 26 years of service...right or wrong ....mine.
Stay safe !
There is a website (not sure how I found it) where it appears that there are people who would want to take tour groups to the front lines, just not for journalistic reasons. ;)
I wonder what Constitutional lawyers would say about an emergency prohibition of the press anywhere near our troops just for the safety of the press. It must be difficult when aiming one's weapon or pointing a large barrel with journalists popping in and out of range.
The fundamental moral principle is the right of self-defense. If there is reasonable cause to believe the 'victim' still posed a threat to one's life, then killing him in combat is justifiable.
