"...members of the press risked their lives to record the scenes in that country."

Members of our military risked their lives to destroy the terrorist organization and, in so doing, brought renewed freedoms to many Afghanistanians.

I'd go with the military as the more heroic, for sure.

"While the bombs were falling on Afghanistan, members of the press risked their lives to record the scenes in that country."

I wonder if it was an urban legend when Bernie what'sis'name was cought reporting bombs falling around Bagdad from under his bed in the nicest hotel in town?

Suppose it's an urban legend that Geraldo is making big bucks to pose safely away from the fray and act journalistic.

Must have been legend back in 68 when a US newsie complained to me that it was too hard to find drugs for sale in Saigon (he wanted film for the story he'd already written).
