7. Democracy Now is my inspiration.
   
   Amy suggests that reporters shouldnt embed with US forces. That would mean that they would have to rely on the insurgents for protection. Reporters cant just walk around Iraqi warzones because the insurgents target them. So in order to do so they would have to negotiate with the terrorists and will be forced to compromise their "subjectivity".
   
   When embedded with US troops they are under no other condition than to refrain from giving out information that would reveal operational security and endanger the soldiers that they are embedded with.
   
   She clearly favors Iraqi terrorists to American troops and is willing to sacrifice her subjectivity in the name of "protecting" her subjectivity.
   
   Nice!!!!!!!!!!

10. EB,
    
    I hate to break it to you since you commended my last post so nicely, but I am concerned for your welfare.
    
    It is illegal to call me Fern. Only Nanc and TMW have that right. I'm just a good samaritan and I wanna make sure you dont get arrested.

12. Whether a soldier says a war is worth it depends on what the soldier thinks justifies a war. For some, a war is to repel an attack on the US. The geopolitical intricacies of this conflict don't raise to the Pearl Harbor level for a lot of soldiers. If that were the standard, probably 90% of American conflicts wouldn't be "worth it."

    IMHO 9/11 was much worse than Pearl Harbor. 9/11 was an attack on innocent civilians as opposed to a military target.
    
    I'd be interested in what reference you cite for your statistics and whether or not you served. On what basis do you assert that it "wouldn't be worth it"?
    
    Otherwise based on my experience, 20 years in the Navy and how well I know my comrades in arms I'd say you were way off base.

15. whether a soldier decides a conflict is "worth it" is in some ways a moot point. We do our duty as we have sworn to do it.

16. You misunderstood. I'm not opposed to the war and I was there last year (I'm an officer in the Army reserve). I'm just saying that soldiers may say that the war is unjustified because some hold on to the romantic notion that the only conflicts that are morally justified are those in which we repel an invader. This war isn't like that and some soldiers fail to grasp its larger significance-or, more commonly, don't think about it at all.
