I thought about this at the time of the coming out with it...embedded reporters. I thought imediately the bond that would occur, naturally with troops in the field. There has been, for sometime, an anti-military air about the country's media. This time, I strongly think that when it is over, you are going to see "The Brothers Hug" from correspondence in the field, and their guides...as well, from other GI's in the prospective units.

There has been much talk lately that embedded reporters and their crew have taken part in the exercises. I heard where one "reporter" picked up arms in a time of need. I heard two other reports where the camera crew helped with medivac situations, leaving the hot zone to help transport the wounded, and returned to the "post" later in the night.

I think it awesome that this is going on, and the bond I mentioned earlier is inevitable under these circumstances...

PS...

You happen to catch the shot of Geraldo with a cowboy hat on sitting in the back of the chopper while heading into attack Medina?? I ROTFLMBO... He was a "Man's man" back there, and I sensed a little nervousness from him. lol...

If a tally were taken, I believe the positive of having these reporters will by far outweigh the negative.
