I did not say anything about the role or importance of the Press, I will
leave that for others with more direct knowledge to sort out. To put my
statement in simpler terms if a reporter is with the troops and he finds
himself in the middle of a live fire fight and he decides to stand up to
take pictures he may well get shot. In todays war if you radiate you will
be just like standing up, and you may get hit.

You also seem to misunderstand what a journalist's job is, Vern. The
military is NOT more important than the press. They will have to make
the time, like it or not, inconvenient or not. The recent trend
hasn't showing them doing that. So the recent trend must change, not
the press and their role.
