Grun, I was looking for the quote but in the interest of time I'll summarize. The waist gunner was shot and he manned the gun. It was shoot or die, he chose to shoot but kept quiet about it until years later.

I have a sneaking suspicion that that particular accident happened because the driver of the car was busy looking at the news people on the side of the road, rather than checking oncoming traffic.

The world would be better off if people like him were drawn and quartered while a journalist co-worker "reports" the action.

That ultra melon needs to be brought up on charges for failing to render aid. WTF was he thinking not running to help.

Like Sandman said, Saur...

Different situation.

The reporter in this vid is a tool. He spent most of the time trying to get the address to anyone who may be watching (it was live). But after that he shoulda dropped his mic.

Help a soldier, become a target.

Journalists viewed as targets means no news, nothing, gets out. And then we might as well use our imaginations as to what's going on over there.

They aint soldiers, and I doubt they can even do CPR. They're there to report.

You get imbedded in a unit..how can you not help another American? Self preservation because you might be a target is just a show of cowardice. They may be over there to report, but as a human being you should help. And jouralist are so stupid that they will do anything to get a story so I highly doubt that there would ever be a shortage of handsomehunkes willing to replace a fallen comrade no matter how many get killed.

Professional ethic.

Soldiers are soldiers... journalists are journalists. No need to bring humanism into it... warfare is far more efficent without it.

You

Why because I believe that no matter if you are in a war zone or on the side of a street, you should render assistance to someone that is injured? No matter the reason you are there in the first place.

And because I have NO respect for ANY journalists because ALL news is biased and sensationalized?

Nash · « **Reply #26 on:** September 28, 2004, 09:54:32 PM »

Oooh all news is biased and SCARY!

No...

Local? Even if it's during the ratings period - though that may pose a dilema - drop your mic and help.

War Zone? Just report.

What an idiot for not even checking out the condition of those people involved. Funny how accidents especially medical emergencies seem to turn people into idiots.
