There does seem to be some misunderstanding about this article. As it reads, the ABC/VF cameramen are embedded with the 2nd Platoon, Battle (B) company of the 173rd Airborne.

There’s no indication that cameramen had any advance warning of the ambushes.

They put the pieces together that they were being set up by the elders. “one called to discuss details of a U.S.-financed water pipe project” and on the way out, they were ambushed.

As far as I’m concerned these cameramen are not the issue.

The issue is with their bosses who seem to only find incidents to report on of our guys taking heat or try to pin blame on them.

Where is all the coverage of our soldiers on the giving end? Or accomplishing good things?

THAT is the big issue that needs addressing here.
