Every day I go out and work on stories with a gorgeous reporter.

Every afternoon I come back and write stories sitting right across from a gorgeous anchor, then go into an edit bay generally right next to another gorgeous reporter.




If the argument that men and women can't be in the military together because of sexual tension were valid, then it would hold true for other jobs. In other words, I should be fired right now because according to that theory, I should never be able to get any work done because I'd be too busy fantasizing about getting in the pants of about 15 different women with whom I work.

Obviously, that's not the case. I get my work done, and then some, and "sexual tension" doesn't enter into the equation.

And I'm just a cameraslinger. It's not like I had to go to bootcamp to start working as a photojournalist. The United States military is supposed to be the best trained group of people on the planet. Are you seriously trying to tell me that all that elite, special, and very expensive training goes out the window if a girl walks by? Gee, seems like the enemy has an easy task then. Just have some girls wander around the battlefield. There would be so much sexual tension that our side would forget to shoot, right?
