War heroes?

Oh yes! I heard about those two. God! it was bad wasn't it! You wonder how they dare do it.

I think I would still prefer my chances as a war journalist for the Times than being a Syrian in Syria at the moment.

Oh I was not trying to start a competition about who had it worse! Of course the Syrian people are in a dreadful situation ,a hell on earth, and cannot get away but we only know how awful it is because war reporters do take huge risks to ensure the 'outside world' has a better understanding of what is happening and often expose horrors such as the chemical weapons. A young French journalist was killed in Africa not long ago. They are especially targeted as potential hostages so is not a cushy number!
