prisons for only very minor offenses. next year an arty award winning journalist sebastian younger tells us about the fate faced by war reporters and who really needs them. r t is sitting down with sebastian younger an american author journalist and documentary and his two thousand and ten film restrepo was nominated for an oscar and his most recent book war illustrates the human bonds that are formed between us soldiers even amid a climate of conflict and killer sebastian thank you very much for sitting down with our team today with pleasure ok so your book war it does illustrate. the realities of war why did you decide to focus on the character the characters and the humanity of of soldiers will was

a very political thing i mean it has to be it has to be argued about. and there are dozens and dozens of great books that have come in the past ten years that have gone over the morelli the politics the strategy of the two wars that we winning i didn't really want to add to that i felt that the one thing that was dropping out of the of the national conversation we were having about these wars was the experience of the soldiers themselves i mean newspaper reporter you get a little bit of you know so and so from just out of illinois his father does this and you know a little many bios of soldiers but you don't really get into what i came to think of as the emotional terrain of combat and what i realized in the fight was that i spent this little outpost was crippled in the korengal valley of eastern afghanistan huge of out of combat very isolated place what i realize is that the guys were not fighting for flag and country and they were not you know they were joined up for reasons those sorts of reasons well once they were there they were

fighting for each other and it was a completely kind of turtle arrangement that had very very little broad kind of like conceptual like motivations behind it you were asked about the death of some of them on the assassination of the some line of what you thought that may mean to the future of afghanistan and to the u.s. soldiers there and according to what i've read you said the men and women who are fighting are worse right now are starting to have a distant relationship with the event that triggered you know september eleventh and that you thought and more immediate concern that's what's going to happen on the ground and afghanistan because you say that most of the soldiers i mean it goes that you were a medic but were maybe nine or ten years old when september eleventh occurred and i think that that a lot and whether he's alive or dead now that he's that matters i do i think it does matter to them what but it's using increasingly i mean you know i'm a new yorker and i write you know i was you know my forty's i'm not alone was

through the night on nine eleven i remember it in a very very painful memory you know someone who was nine years old at nine eleven. toy story you know i don't have an emotional. the that attack might not have a real emotional content like you would for an adult but i think they understand the importance of killing him and they understand the consequences of killing them killing him for themselves which is conceivable that they are in the stranger do you think so i don't know but there's i'm sure this is a debate they're having at these follow up posts like are they going to be revenge attacks or are we in the stage where because he was the sort of kingpin and now it's all coming unglued for ok i mean i don't know no one knows what they're probably discussing that when you were on embedded with these guys these soldiers you were with regard to from a partner and i want to express my condolences to you because i know that you did as frank in april tim hetherington he was in libya right and proper how did that

shift your focus on what you do and how involved you will be moving forward. on some hard facts i've been covering wars is the age of ninety three and it's taken a fair about of risks in those twenty almost twenty years and jim's death really pretty much knocked me flat and. i think it made me realize i mean he's been dead a month today's been a month and it was an awful month and i made maybe realize like if i get killed. i'm going to be doing that what i feel right now to the people i'm closest to my wife my family my friends and i've never quite thought about it that way and i think. well ultimately the decision i came to was that there is going to continue working i'm going to continue covering countries that are in transition in conflict but i'm not going to continue going to shout out like about that business according

to what's being reported and actually very well known is that most journalists however tranced many overseas players have closed and this is decisions their decisions are being made you know by networks cable stations what do you think is going to how and when it comes to our foreign news correspondents in the future if a lot of networks are pulling their arms you know it's actually a great opportunity for freelancers you know back in the ninety's the eighty's the ninety's when the networks had tons of money in the newspaper and said girls all over the world you had to be like certified you know like stamps you know as a reporter a correspondent to have a job overseas and that the scraps that fell from the table went to the freelancers well now those jobs are going up they you know the agencies can't fund them so now that workload is being undertaken by freelancers and so you know you go to libya you know this c.n.n. and whatever but. b. c.

but probably eighty percent of the correspondents on the ground are freelancers who are working for news agencies they can't afford to pay his salary to a person who's there can afford to pay the insurance and so you know young very courageous young and sometimes an experienced reporter step in and that's how they learn that so the next generation of reporters is more do you think the media itself us media is concerned with more i'm confident as it used to be because we see so many of these salacious stories celebrity driven stories that. take the headlines you know i think those stories of always going around i get most of my news from the newspaper i really don't get when you're from television so if you're referring to t.v. yeah this story you know this sort of celebrity scandal kind of stories that i think we've always been there and the reality is that nato intervened in libya because of the. just have

a list of horrible images and information that was coming out of eastern libya as khadafi his forces assaulted the the rebel positions in benghazi you know. without the press there nothing would have happened and so somebody is paying attention i mean literally your stripes so. yeah i mean it's working it doesn't look like every person in the country has to watch those images for them to have an effect and then you see that war is not going to run that's you know one of the reasons i decided to write a report that you thought war from the point of view of u.s. soldiers but. i mean if that is enough to say war is not going to go away i mean maybe in the u.s. or other countries that our crating wars launching wars or for whatever reason justified. try different approaches because these wars are not going away but i would argue that they're not making circumstances any better afghanistan many

experts call it you know a quagmire you know afghanistan is that the lowest level of civilian well it's a million deaths in thirty years the highest rate of economic growth and that whole part of asia is in afghanistan. five times the number of children are being schooled compared to ten years ago or with under the taliban or one third of them are girls according to you i'm sorry is or not think according to unicef afghanistan is the worst place in the world war and oh no it absolutely can you measure would be like without international assistance yeah it's bad it's the poorest country in the world but it's actually so much better than it was and i think people really realize that it is we're going to go away it's been with us since the stone age so no it's not going to go away it is an illness and you describe it like these are afflictions of human society but we fight illness we fight crime. there's relief i think it's one thing the wars well you know you know

there were i mean there were there are wars i mean we're some we could argue well we're to rwanda we probably should have fought a war to end that war you know there was no military intervention in rwanda and a million people died so if someone goes to me and says are you against war i'm like yeah against war do something wrong i want to send a force in there together to stop bosnia like area sierra leone yeah of course everyone's against war so what do you do when there's a war you know what do you do when there's a war in liberia you sit here in united states and watch it unfold and hundred thousand people die or you send in. no the mill is a country's military and stop it and that's what happened and it ended the war so it's like yeah it would be dealt with but sometimes you have to deal with war with war based on what you saw in your experience do you think money question i read here the soldiers didn't talk much about why we're in afghanistan i mean they are in afghanistan because they join because they didn't

want to go to afghanistan things that would be done. they were quite psyched to be in combat like they joined the army most of them. they joined the army and they got into the once every thirty airborne a really kind of hard core unit precisely because they wanted to understand what combat was like and so they didn't debate why are we in afghanistan very much it's like. you know it's a big thirty three thousand americans were killed by attacks coming out of afghanistan. and we had to we had to go to that country and fix it and find the people who killed american or american brothers and sisters and that's about the extent of their analysis fashion and i thank you very much for your time.
