I am 64 I have attended funerals for friends relatioves and almost every day I hear of another friend who is dying with cancer. Do I ever worry about my number coming up? Damned right I do. Its part of life to worry about death and the way you will come by yours. You dont dwell on it you do your job, you love you wife and Grandkids and you get on with life.
Soldiers do the same, When they spend too much time dwelling on the morbid and worrying about getting killed they cant get their jobs done. We dont need reporters in their ranks stirring up these emotions. IMO we dont need reporters in the ranks of our professional soldiers in the first place.
Yes, but then how will the enemy learn about our troop movements, morale, battlefield technologies, force strength...etc?
