Why are Cameras imbedded with our troops?
While you are getting dressed in the morning and wondering what happened to Today (NBC), Good Morning America (ABC), or The Early Show (CBS) ask your self the question: ?Why are cameras imbedded into our military??
This has never happened before. There wasn?t a precedent set. This is a new and uncharted move by our government. It?s an interesting move that deserves examination.
Like it or not we are all involved with the war. We all follow the (insert # here) Cavalry, the (random # here) Medic Squad all over Iraq and throughout the Middle East. Why do we need this coverage? Isn?t it harmful to our troops to alert people to where they are, where they are going, and where to shoot at them?
It?s not just the bottom rung of reporters are put in harms way. Big names such as Ted Koppel and Dan Rather have been at or near the front lines. This star power seems odd to me. Usually the lowest ranking weatherman has to go into the storm and report about the tornado not the #1 Meteorologist at the station. Why is this war different?
Why is the entire media giant in the Untied States so wrapped up in the little details of this war. One death is too many. I send my condolences to any and all family and loved ones of our troops. That aside, a little more then a million American troops have died in military conflict. This is a war, why is it news when a battalion is shot upon?
Why is the poor family of a captured solider paraded across the screen? Why are they interviewed only to say, ?Johnny loved life, loved the USA, and loved his dog?? Why are cameras sent to their homes and why are they made to dig up childhood pictures of these soldiers? Do we want these people to suffer on camera?
