My life isn't always at risk, even if I'm in a war zone. A lot of these places have areas of calm, so covering war doesn't necessarily mean being shot at all the time.

I have spent the past ten years in just about every war zone there was.

Since the early '80s, I've found myself in war zones in various parts of the world.

I did my military service from 1989 - 92 and I was never shot at or had to fire on anybody. I was very lucky. I was more involved in intelligence and counter-intelligence.

I fought in Korea, front line. I knew who the enemy were. The enemy were the people who were firing at me. And shooting at me.

My time in war zones have been fleeting and infrequent. I've been to Iraq. I've been to Afghanistan. I've been to other places where I've collected hazardous duty pay.

I've been shot at on numerous occasions.

I guess if you're stupid enough to join the army without thinking about getting shot at, then you really are a fool.

I think it is rather heroic to go into a war zone where everyone is trying to kill you, and you have no way of shooting back.

I've been as a pilot involved in the Gulf War. And then, in the No-Fly Zone.
