Embedded reporters are distrusted and shunned (actually, "despised" is the word I heard) by the soldiers they travel with.....for good reason.
Too bad about these guys, but hey, life's a bi**ch.
I hope no soldiers were hurt.
Amen to that. Our troops are far more important than these yahoos tooling around in a war zone.
In any case, I hope EVERYONE involved is okay.
I only care about the soldiers. So far not one word if any of them were hurt. Shocker!
I've not heard or read that. Do you have a link to support that conclusion?
Amen to that.
Exactly what I was thinking. I haven't heard a single word about any soldiers on any of the network stories about this. Not a word that the soldiers were safe or injured.
Typical.
My FoxNews channel is out again, I wonder how they're covering this.
It's a tragedy when anyone is injured by these retrograde islamofacist terrorists, but I grieve more for soldiers than journalists, especially liberal journalists.
As cruel as it may sound, I enjoy seeing moonbat peace activists get whacked. I figure they're damaged goods to begin with and are better off being culled from the gene pool.
Actually, when my marine came home he mentioned how he disliked (that's the nice word) the imbeds. He had other names for them.
I hope no soldiers were hurt.
.....................................................
That's my main concern as well.
Ditto, baby. I don't recall see Sgt. Joe Blow from Windy City or Pfc. Slim Pickens from Fat Chance injured by an IED in Breaking News.
That said, I am sorry they were hurt and hope these two have a speedy recovery.
They dont despise all of them

I feel more sorry for the cameraman - he's just told what to do and where to go - the plastic newsreader (apparently you can't read a teleprompt unless you're an "anchor") didn't HAVE to be there. abc's already GOT 'reporters' there; long term.
Probably he was only there to do headshots and background shots and "anchor" the evening news from Iraq a couple of times. Everything abc needs to crow about how their "anchor" is "in the field".
I hope they both make it out of there but can't think very much about how "brave and noble" they're being made out to be - Soldiers are being killed every day (and abc just treats them as numbers) and these two guys get more 'coverage' on all the networks today than the Soldiers get in a WEEK.
What you said!
