Hey my name is Phil
I was just wondering what your opinion is; should reporters and the media be allowed at the frontlines?
All of this anti-war feeling is probably fuelled by the media. First, they lie to the public saying something like "if we don't invade, 'X' will happen!", and then they turn around and start saying "we need to pull out!".
If there had been reporters like there are today at the eastern trench-front in 1916, or reporters blabbing away about how the battle to crush facism in the 40's costing 50 million lives, would those wars have lasted long?
Is it the reporters and their constant negative media, or have the western nations lost the will to fight for whats right?
After all, the only thing worse than war is to not be willing to fight for anything, eh!
(PS Iraq is not right, Afghanistan is though. What the devil are you doing there...)
