People in the military are following orders. There is the assumption of risk when they enter the military, but should they be placed in harm's way by irresponsible civilians?
I feel a little less sorry for the translator, he probably had a better appreciation of the risk than anyone.
Freelance journalists should be free to go where they please, but in doing so, they shouldn't expect any sort of special treatment when things don't work out as planned.
