The reasons accredited "journalists" have been restricted from hot combat zones:
1. Too fat to keep up with grunts humping 100lb rucks (risks lives)
2. Lying, cheating, misrepresenting "stores" (fabricating the truth)
3. Risk of collateral deaths (journalist fragged)

In other words, get in shape, quit lying to the american people, and support this country and maybe, maybe we will let you hold an empty and cleared M16A2 for a few seconds.

Followup:

Where are the real war correspondants we heard from in WW2.
Start acting like them. Live in the mud with the men, eat their food, hump their gear, learn about their families. Show them that if a fire fight occurs, you'll grab a weapon and make that last stand with them instead of attempting to cross the line for an exclusive one-on-one interview with the enemy commander when things look bleak. And for christ-sake get out of the local Hotel Intercontinental penthouse suite.

I found out in the 1980s that Walter is an old Marxist. He kept it hid when he was on the air on CBS. When you get to know what he really thinks, ole Walter is a closet communist.
