Journalist Dies - Journalists Panic

Why someone, in this case a journalist, needs to die in Afghanistan before 'we' are reminded that it is a dangerous place to be is beyond me.

It's war. It makes me sad to think that people go there not being scared, or not being aware that it is in fact not the best place to be if you plan to get old.

Every solider, civilian, journalist - anyone - who dies should not be a blunt, unwanted reminder of the fact that war zones are, believe it or not, dangerous, but instead should be a reminder of how bloody ugly war is, yet how lucky we are not to have lost more.
