Welcome Home Evan Gershkovich, et al.

Now please, journalist Gershkovich?  Your parents left Russia for a reason.  Please do not pull a James Foley now that you've been freed and return?  Being a former "celebrity hostage" will be his meal ticket now, plus the book advance...

If you go back into journalism?  You're taking a risk.  If you don't have employer support and cannot protect yourself, it's not smart in a world at war to return to reporting overseas because Americans are seen as enemies in so many places the US military has made our presence known,

These aren't your grandfathers' Good Wars. We're making up the rules as we go, and only men -- humans -- have ethics.  The deadly weapons have none.  We are only as strong as the military leaders making the calculated decisions on our behalf. *shudder*
