Western '''''''war correspondents''''' as depicted here haven't even been a thing since Vietnam.
Western journalists don't actually venture into warzones and combat to get action shots any more.
Far too dangerous and uncomfortable for the pampered upper middle class women that make up the majority of modern ''''journalism'''.
I mean look at this fucking movie. You expect me to believe a couple of prissy modern girls would ever put themselves in danger like this? Intentionally? The moment budget Matt Damon pointed his rifle at them they'd have started bending over and offering their pussies in exchange for sweet sweet life before running back home and crying to mommy & daddy.
Of course that extends to the laughable portrayal of female soldiers as well but pretending women aren't complete and utter cowards is just a part of the unyielding modern cultural propaganda everywhere.
But I digress.
No. News agencies don't send war correspondents to warzones anymore. They just contact some locals who are already in the warzone and tell them to get snaps on their 4K cameraphone that everyone has in their pockets these days, and email them to the news agency.
That's why like 500 ''''''journalists''''' have been killed in Gaza. It's not like they were sent in from other places to document the events. They're just random locals that were contracted to send photos.
