Not only are these photo bozos in the way during combat, they don't go into the building "first".

I beg to differ. Combat photography is nowhere near a spectator event. Robert Capa, Sean Flynn, Larry Burrows, Dana Stone, the list of photographers who have been killed covering war zones is very long.

Check out the book Requiem: By the Photographers Who Died in Vietnam and Indochina edited by Tim Page, a man who himself was wounded four times in Vietnam, the last being from a landmine while trying to help wounded US Soldiers.

Combat photography.

You bring up an area I have had questions about before. I was reading about the two different flag raising on Iwo Jima and from links there heard about combat photographers.

Are these enlisted men who are designated the task that our embeds do now? Does the military still have combat trained soldiers who are responsible for also acquiring a photographic testimony of their activities in the combat zone. Are civilian photographers also referred to as combat photographers? *I can't get amazon to come up right now.

Combat photography is nowhere near a spectator event.

Point made...These network guys with video cameras still represent a danger to the troops and they are not the ones opening the doors.

The classic combat photographers you mention did not have anti-war web sites.
