My fault for not specifying that this is for WWII war

The baseline I'm working from is the soldiers in the war zone get -20 for
Extremely Hazardous Duty and war correspondents share a great deal of those
hazards.

You need to specify whether this is a REMF correspondent who was at HQ
and reporting on the briefings, scuttlebut, etc, or was he someone like
Ernie Pyle who was embedded with the front line troops to the point
where he was all but a soldier but for lack of combat training and a
rifle. I would think that the two types would have vastly different
personality types.
Also, in WW2, there was a strong sense of patriotism, not what we have
today, but true, my country right or wrong and we're fighting the good
fight patriotism. That would probably be a Duty: Tell the truth but make
sure the other side is the evil enemy or something like that.
