Completly agree with you on this. Of course the US military isn't on purpose killing reporters. But perhaps because of the stress of the situation they will unfortunatly be more inclined to shoot first, think later. Same thing is going on in Israel. I doubt the Israeli military(generally) like to kill civilians, medical staff and UN staff. But unfortunatly that happens.
