Journal #32 A Reporter Covering the War

I have a lot of respect for the reporters who cover the war, especially if they are in the trenches with the troops covering the War. A reporter would have to be so brave to risk their life for a story on the War for their job. Personally I feel as though War is a very serious matter where there are people killed every day, so I know I would be very nervous to be in a War. When you see coverage of the War in Iraq you see reporters who are all decked in armor to make sure they are safe and it reminds people just how dangerous it really is to be out there in the trenches covering the War. In modern times, war is so much different and I think more dangerous than it used to be. Do not get me wrong I know how dangerous war is every war that has been fought in the history of the World, cause all the blood that has been spilled but, now days with the modern technology there is so many ways that enemies can kill each other. With all the bombs and modern bombs, reporters must really prepare for anything when it comes to protecting themselves. I honestly do not know if I could be a reporter who is covering a war. There is so much bloodshed and pain, that it would be so hard to watch on a everyday basis. Also, I know how brave the soldiers are and it would be so hard to live in that threat of danger and death in your life twenty-four-seven. I have so much respect for people who can put themselves through that, but I do not know if I myself could do it because there is so much risk involved and blood everywhere, that I do not know if I have it in myself to be a reporter who is covering a modern day war.
