Does anyone know if the reporters are given a weapon to protect themselves, if necessary? Just curious.

"Does anyone know if the reporters are given a weapon to protect themselves, if necessary? Just curious." I expect they have access.

That question was posed on Fox today. The answer is no.

Embedded reporters are valuable to TV. To the men in the shit, they are nothing. No they do not have weapons.

I believe they have a choice, but if captured and they have a weapon on them, they then become combatants - not reporters.
