A very dangerous job, that they did well. Two other photographers, Guy Martin and Chris Brown, were also injured, but are recovering.

Such dangerous places they have reported from. What a incredible amount of bravery, to do so. Sympathies to their family and friends.

True that! If I were married to Christianne Amanpour or Lara Logan, I don't know that I'd have the fortitude to see them off at the airport to do their jobs. War correspondents are a special breed.

Restrepo was an amazing film. I hate war.

WOW we just watched Restrepo in a class I'm taking a few weeks ago...

That's very sad... R.I.P.
