Reporters travelled with troops, and worked freelance in Viet Nam.

But they only reported in the mainstream press, which some people choose not to read. ;)

Didn't you say more press have been
killed in Iraq than in Viet Nam? I don't even know if that's true. 40 years ago I don't think the number of press were exposed to hostilities like they are today in Iraq. It's a different kind of war.

Back then there was a county with a government and a military we were fighting right or wrong. Today we are fighting violent, Islamic fundamentalists that have no country but regardless of the reasons are in Iraq right or wrong, right now. So you don't like what has happened and even I agree things were botched. The democrates don't offer any solution and move on, they just blame Bush. You better scrape those Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers off your cars. The election is over! There's not going to be a recount!
