A woman reporter was shot at and hit while reporting from the front in Georgia.

She is amazing, the epitomy of grace under pressure. Many men and women trained for this don't react with the calm that she did.

I have been under fire. It is one thing to be able to shoot back, it is another thing completely to just continue reporting and making yourself a target.

Richard - I don't know about you, but I don't like pain. Asprin, hell, get the vicodin. Where's the morphine?

Barbara - you betcha

Debi - I would have called it a day when I heard the first shots

Cynthia - I would have been looking for something to hide behind, much bigger than a vest

Leesa - yeah, I saw that one also. Not a job I would want. I don't even like doing BPO's

Pretty amazing and you know she was probably in shock too so all the more interesting that she stayed somewhat composed and did her job.

That is pretty incredible. I wonder if she was in some sort of shock? Thankfully she didn't appear to be very badly wounded...

Carey - it was, even though it was "only a scratch", close would be too much for me.
