The bottom-line is that in this current war we are fighting is like no other war we have ever fought in terms of civilians on the battlefield. It can be argued that Viet Nam may have been similar but times and circumstances were entirely different. The culture of the enemy we are fighting creates an environment in which the civilian population can not and should be trusted during combat operations. The National media should also not be included in combat operations due to the risk of injury or death of Soldiers/Marines and the Media members themselves. There is also the issue of compromising the mission by the media and or Local National civilians. This is unacceptable in terms ofcompleting the mission with minimal or no military casualties.
