In the sense that a soldier and a war journalist both knowingly put themselves in harm’s way, yes.

Did you read his articles? Did you read what this “
delusional, naïve idiot of a reporter/photographer “ had to say about our troops?

I started reading his articles last night. Haven’t read them all but from what I have read I have not come to the conclusion others have that he somehow got what he deserved.

A lot of the anti-Foley sentiment can be traced to his Twitter feeds over the years. Apparently he was a proud Obama supporter and a sympathizer of the radical Islamic extremists in the places where he was assigned (Libya and Syria).

What I find most telling about this story is that Foley captured in November 2012, and hardly anyone even knew about his capture and long captivity until after he was executed. It sounds to me as if his execution was the only consequential thing about his career.
