Thanks for dropping by. I suppose the key for me is that we hear from different perspectives. As you allude to it’s difficult for one person to access the various facets of the Afghanistan story. If your project helps us to hear some stories that journalists might not be able to report, and adds to the patchwork of information coming out of Afghanistan, then I’m all for it. I’m just glad there are other viewpoints as well, like that of Holly’s. All the best with the project – looking forward to seeing how it develops.

It’s pretty hard to get candid discussion wrapped in body armor and carrying not just one, but two weapons.
There’s definately pro’s and con’s to being both civilian and military journalists. There’s a certain level of trust Ken and I share with the service members by wearing the same uniform and sharing the same experiences. We may not be able to have the same access to civilian hospitals, but we hope to have the same level of access to all the service members and their personal stories.
