Whenever this subject crops up, the first person I think of is the late Neil Davis, an Australian 'video journalist' who travelled with the VC during Vietnam and captured some of the most iconic footage of that war. Also Hitchens.

I wish she would know that her work does make a difference. I was born in East Africa had to leave due to civil war, moved to Libya, Egypt and Europe before living in Australia.

The story at 45:00 from Jon Steele is stunning and absolutely terrifying. That schoolteacher that saved them is an angel. I desperately hope that he wasn't killed, but it's very possible that he was. And Steele's experience in Sarajevo was absolutely devastating.. how his traumatic experience led him to go to Sniper Alley and wish for a bullet from a Serb sniper to kill him. It was brave of him to share his stories and the shame that he felt from his experiences. I hope he is well now and at peace.

The pen is mightier than the sword! Dear Journalists and war correspondents never give up. The world needs you now more than ever.

War is the absolute worst humanity has to offer. Those who call for endless war and death have no clue what it is those who fight the wars and those who report on them experience. The sounds, smells, images and memories never leave you. The death of innocence haunt you until your last breath. Anyone who says any differently is either being truly dishonest with themselves or are heartless, soulless and godless.

Bill Stewart was a WCCO television reporter and anchor prior to his death. His colleagues and friends had to announce on the evening broadcast that he had been murdered. It was heartbreaking to see and hear Stewart’s media family . . . R.I.P. and bless all reporters for what you do to bring knowledge to the world!!

The first image of war I saw was in I think the Bosnian war where a camera shows a guy crawling on the ground then pans down and the guy had his legs blown off. I'll never forget the look on the man's face because to me as quite a young kid I thought he looked calm but it was obviously shock. He wasn't screaming or even wincing in pain, just quite blank faced. I haven't finished watching yet so I wonder if that video will be in this documentary.

What a brilliant documentary. Imagine the stories that these people could tell, if you went for a drink with them.

It's really interesting that some of the male reporters described their experiences as exciting, fun, interesting, "besides the horror", and the reporter woman that covered Vietnam war described it as "ice melted in water" as something that made no positive impact whatsoever... Also she mentioned male covered more of the battles and bombs, and stuff like that, and she was more interested in the vietnamese people perspective and impact of the war... Two very different ways to experience similar situations...

They is 2 sides to every story and war so even when they go to a war zone they usually go along with whatever agenda they have so it depends on what side your on. For example if you look at the Falklands British media told the story from their side and the Argentina media told their side to fit their agenda and so on. If me and you were to go to Syria and film i bet we would have 2 different sides to it.

Because we have been brianwashed by the governments to believe that this honorable and right. But, how can it be? And so, if you trust in the Bible, this is what it says regarding the sacrifices the nations (countries) US included. This is taken from 1 Corinthians 10:20 and reads as follows: "20 No; but I say that what the nations sacrifice, (your sons and daughters) they sacrifice to demons and not to God;+ and I do not want you to become sharers with the demons.+" So, there you have it, in a nutshell, clear as day, your sons and daughters are being, in truth, sacrificed from war to demons. Yes, satan has to have his blood sacrifices!

I'm with you Vaneesa. Humanity can do better than this. Unfortunately we don't run the show & the people that do are greedy, power hungry swine with no souls. Have a listen to a song called Generation Z by the band NOFX. That pretty well sums it up. I heard a quote a while back that said - You can go into a pitch black room full of evil, full of darkness, light a little candle & instantly that darkness flees. But you can't do the opposite (from the documentary Wake Up Call). Every positive thing you do as an individual, no matter how small has an impact. These fuckers at the top know this & continue to keep us down to divide, control & dominate us all while the bulk of humanity doesn't realise that individually & collectively we carry the infinite consciousness that can take us to whole new dimensions. Be as informed as you can, learn the systems of corporate control, withdraw consent through non-compliance & we will conquer these fuckheads without having to spill a drop of blood. The one thing they understand is a decrease in profits. They will not fight & fund their own wars. Self sustainability is the key to freedom. Technology is on our side. Smart resourceful people are what makes positive change. Not elite parasites in suits. That's my philosophy anyway. Viva La Revolucion.

One of my friends said to me a few years ago- If they won't create the reality I want, I'll create for myself. I've been running that philosophy ever since. It's a slow old process as I am not wealthy, but I'm just doing it little by little & being patient. I just feel sorry for the people who don't get a chance because of them being trapped in a bad situation, struggling just to survive. Communities have to start looking after themselves & each other on a localised basis (as best as possible). It's easy to take things for granted as our whole society has been set up for economic slavery, convenience & not individual freedoms, which requires a different outlook & actions. In the end I think it's up to people to make physical change themselves. Crying to corrupt governments isn't going to change anything as they are in many corporate pockets & don't really care about us unless they can profit off something. If you don't already know about it, check out a system of gardening called aquaponics. All the Best to you Vaneesa. I hope things go well for you in the future. The human spirit lives in us all. Collectively we can overcome the bullshit & make a better world for everyone. Peace.

It’s unfortunate that we don’t have journalists from the old school. Today’s journalists report their opinions rather than facts. The one journalist gets it right when he says he tried to get the journalists to work together. Today, they’re all reporting based solely off the political bias of their station. I have a ton of respect for any journalists who go out with members of the military into battle zones. War is ugly. I wish humans were able to get along no matter how different our ideas/creed/skin color/cultures/etc… we don’t need to agree on everything, yet at least we can respect one another enough that we’re able to sympathize and empathize with one another. When we can do that how much closer will we be to peace & unity? Only problem is we can’t even do that in our own country. Americans are as divided as countries at war… how sad and pathetic is that?
