"“They are basically asking me to stand in front of a unit before I go out with
them and say that in the event that they are wounded, I would like their
consent,” he said. “We are already viewed by some as bloodsucking vultures, and
making that kind of announcement would make you an immediate bad luck charm.”
“They are not letting us cover the reality of war,” he added. “I think
this has got little to do with the families or the soldiers and everything to do
with politics.”"
The war aside, this is a wrong thing to do. If we are to have an honest discussion about this war and the effects of this war, hiding the effects is like lying. This war, which I support for the most part, needs to be talked about in an honest way. Censorship is never an option in a free society and this is clear censorship.
