i would expect these to be a true collectible in their own right in 50
years. I can just see them on display at the 2055 MVPA convention with
holographic reporters and vintage news gear. I wonder if anything like
this exists for past wars? I guess in the past the reporters either
traveled with the troops or stayed behind the lines.
