The Sydney Morning Herald amuses with Pentagon call-up for press gang puts boot into flabby journalists:
The Pentagon press corps has received a call-up for a military boot camp to prepare its members to cover a war in Iraq.Why bother? I'm sure most of the press would prefer to cover it from the hotel bar, like they did in Vietnam.
The call comes after United States troops in Afghanistan complained of having to wait for flabby, unfit journalists to keep up with them.
The training sessions, the first of their kind, will begin at a string of bases in the eastern US in the middle of this month.
Or Jane Fonda's parlor.
