Army Vet Returns to More than Lacrosse

This link will bring you to the story of John Fernandez. Please follow it and read his story, but first consider this.

Fernandez wants the nation's media to become less obsessed with the numbers of the Iraq War. So, regarding my class's study of journalism ethics, where does a reporter draw the line in a personal story of today's veterans? When do soldiers become numbers in the eyes of the media? Is our nation's communications foggy with a negative view of the Iraq War because of the media?

Consider these questions before you follow this link and read the story of the modern veteran.
