Actually, IIRC it's not. I'm sure I recall that our very own Lois was just such an embedded war correspondant.

Somewhere on the net (I used to have a copy somewhere but it's long gone, I fear) there is the detail of what those Kerth Awards Lois had in her trophy cabinet were actually for - their inscriptions. Noted down by a fan who had done the tour.

IIRC, one was for an article on sexual harrassment (might even have been sexual harrassment in the miliary, but I'm not 100% on that), another for shadowing the Presidental election campaign...and one for her articles as a war correspondant, embedded with the troops.

I'll have to go see if I can track it down. Must be out there somewhere still, you would imagine...

Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
