I suspect these young journalist will be enfluenced by the culture of the region where the miltary action is taking place.
It will be valuable to learn just what is happening to individual members of any miltary unit during the stressfull combat time and while they are recooperating. During the years following 9/ll, the press was expressing the activities of the miltary forces as some thing taking place in the "Unpopular War".This king of head lines just adds to termoil of emitions, especially when the miltary expects some support the country with the Freedom of Speak thoughts and believes made possible by the military personnel protecting our rights. In any case, I am looking forward to the reports made by these student Jounalist. Thanks you all for beyond the comfort zone of our society. Ed An Army Vet.

that these writings get a lot of exposure beyond the University of Alaska Sun-Star.
These kids will probably write on some aspects of military life in a war zone that other more-experienced (paid) journalists would pass over.
