What happened to Bob Woodruff and Doug Vogt sucks, and I hope they both make a complete recovery, but getting blown up is just as much an occupational hazard for war correspondents as it is for the troops. I think Woodruff and Vogt understood that. The rest of the press needs either to make peace with it or at least stop whining.

Here's to a real war correspondent, Ernie Pyle

"In 1940, with war raging in Europe, Pyle went to England to report on the Battle of Britain. By 1942, he was covering America’s involvement in the war. During the next three years, battle campaigns took him to North Africa, Italy and the Normandy Beaches in France.

In 1945, Pyle accepted what would be his last assignment—the Pacific theater. His death silenced the pen of a man whose writing had served as the link between men at the front and their loved ones back home."
