Was thinking about these past 4-5 wars the U.S. is involved in...
You notice more and more of the journalists,photographers,free freelancers are getting kind of personally involved with high ranking soldiers and refugees.
They only show pictures of screaming Mothers,wounded/cripple kids. bombing ,killings,showing buildings being bombed BEFORE those bombs actually hit their targets.(how do they do that?)
The question is what are these people REALLY contributing to these wars?
Do these constant press reports influence the planners(Generals/POTUS) of these wars?
I wonder if these wars would be over quicker if the media/press were not involved or "imbedded" with the troops.
WW2 was a totally different war that got
some media attention compared to Iraq today.
