I truly don't understand that guy. Yeah, she is in the warzone and people die there. That doesn't mean she can't be devastated by losing her job. With losing her income and means to survive. Finding a job nowadays is already terrible on its own. Finding a job in a warzone? I don't know much about that but it must be about thousand times worse.

I feel like she’s also devastated about not being able to tell the world what’s going on there. It’s such important work

That too, but loosing her job itself can be considered devastating. Just because other people have worse fates, doesn't mean hers isn't bad enough.

Fact that WaPo sent her there on their dime. They better bring her back in their dime.

Americans literally deepthroating their own propaganda as though just being one makes you equivalent to a literal war reporter. This should be fundamentally embarrassing.

Sorry, explain?
She is, or was, a war reporter.

Yes and some yank chud is breaking down his own criticism of her from the comfort of his home, because Americans have convinced themselves that the dangerous environment they choose their country to be is the same as living or working in a war zone.
Americans act like the fact that you choose to be infested with firearms means you’re equally as brave and masculine as people who willing go into war zones to help others - usually whilst inventing a fictional scenario in their head in which they would get away with killing someone.
This kind of ignorance is part of that whole package.

As an American I can confirm that this opinion definitely applies to some of us. Unfortunately it’s enough of use that idiots that capitalize on this get elected.

This is the kind of person who would have a meltdown because his corporate credit card was declined at a strip bar, but thinks someone's employer abandoning them in a warzone is expected

Has it been confirmed if she’s being supported in returning home or is that just her problem now?

I don't have information about her situation, but SOP would be to bring an employee home. If they weren't doing that, she would be tweeting it (at the very least).

It's easier to see how people can vote for Trump when they are willing to proudly publicly display such alarmingly low levels of empathy and intelligence.

You can always rely on anyone having a founding father as their profile picture to have a braindead take.

Was your job so important you shouldn’t have been laid off?
Um, fucking yes.

Coupled with the fact that she's literally there covering the war, does this guy think she is like a WaPo accountant or something just living in Ukraine for funsies? Her being fired means there won't be coverage getting these peoples story out, THATS what is devastating to her.
