The choices had to do more with the photographers than their assignments. Turnley has done pieces for Nightline and the other two are pulitzer winners. There is a short <a href=http://www.daymilitary.com/project_sample.html>list</a> of some other assignments and a <a href=http://www.daymilitary.com/project_shoot.html>map</a> with the locations they did shoots. ]]> 1941@blogcritics.org Fri, 8 Nov 2002 20:16:47 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/11/07/202042.php#comment-1940 It should be retitled, "A Day in the Life Among the Uncommon Military" Instead of Rumsfeld, how about a civil service employee attached to some supply function at Base X? Right, not sexy enough. Instead of an Army Drill Sergeant (and really, is there anyone in America unfamiliar with Army Drill Sergeants?), how about a mid-level NCO in a heavy vehicle maintenance field? Right, not sexy enough. Instead of a young pilot at an Air Force Top Gun School (???) in Nevada (wow, pilots sure are an enigma to most Americans), how about the young airman who works on his aircraft? Right, not sexy enough. Where's Ernie Pyle when you need him? I've yet to see anyone since him do anything that comes close to an honest representation of "A Day in the Life of the Military". When they decide to spend some time with the other 99% of the military, then it might be of interest. It also makes me wonder how relevant the rest of their stuff is. ]]> 1940@blogcritics.org Fri, 8 Nov 2002 08:21:48 EST
