University of Alaska journalism students embed Stryker Bde.

It sounds very well thought out, the three students are well into their twenties, and given that the journalism field is shrinking, anyone serious about getting into the profession had better have something like this on his/her resume. Besides, they're Alaskan, so they should have considerably less in the way of ideological blinders... and considerably more tact when dealing with the troops around them.

#1  This is what real journalism schools should be doing. Hell, we have enough armchair and green zone journalists. They are a dime a dozen. Life involves risk. You weigh the risks for the benefits and see if it is a worthwhile endeavor. Hats off to Hamilton and UAF. Alaskan pioneering spirit in action.
