Journalists should go through the same Etnac screening. They are privy to Operational knowledge of what units that they are reporting on are doing. Why not make all of them have to go through a security screening so that way they will be able to process and maybe even better understand what they can inform the people at home without endangering the troops. Also some of them go absolutely nuts when they get shot at. If they will not allow soldiers to be deployed if they are prescribed medication for mental problems, why do they allow reporters to be deployed when if they do not get their medication they go Schizo or what not at the most unopportune time.
