I don't remember it it was the SEALs or Marines, but does anyone else here remember when the US first invaded Somalia? I distinctly remember shouting "TURN THOSE DAMN LIGHTS OUT! YOU'RE GOING TO GET THEM KILLED!" at the TV.

The media was actually on the beach where the US forces landed, and televised it!

The landing force should have taken out the enemidia for that very reason. "When we hit the beach, spotlights lit us up, and we had to eliminate the threat".

Can you imagine if today's media were around during WWII? They probably would have been waiting on Omaha Beach for the troops to come.
