My
folks sent me a write-up from a newspaper about our unit.
Note that I had nothing to do with writing this:
They
Shoot the War
A new type of soldier has distinguished himself in this war.
Armed only with a movie camera, he has cost the enemy whole
divisions, saved countless American lives. The weapon
that’s worth 10 divisions, one high-ranking officer called
the camera.... But the camera is only as good as the man behind
it. The combat photographer has to be of a special breed.
He jumps with the paratroops, raids with the commandos, slogs
through the mud with the infantry. Yet he belongs to none
of these. He is a lone wolfdaring, resourceful, privileged,
and, some think, more than a little crazy.
