How Being a War Reporter Got Me Kidnapped…Twice

[@Anonymoose62]

@@TheAsianOfChaos as a war reporter, they’re protected under the Geneva convention under civilian identity. If they were holding a firearm or participated in combat, it revokes that status of civilian and whoever you spot will classify you as an enemy. So it’s not wise to carry a gun if you’re a war corespondent or reporter. It’s one of the risk you have to be willing to take, and why I respect this profession so much

[@robc6022]

@@grungeisdead9541 Fentanyl is a powerful opioid used for pain and surgery. It comes in many forms, mostly transdermal patches for skin use, but it is also made into lollipops because the walls of your mouth are really good at absorbing fentanyl fast. In the picture, the army men have seemingly been shot or injured and have been given fentanyl lollipops. One has one in his mouth and one has one in the background. You can tell it is a fentanyl lollipop because the stick coming off of it has a wider cylinder at the distal end.

[@thelostcosmonaut5555]

Knee Grouse the fentanyl lollipop is also wrapped around the casualty’s finger so when the person with it passes out it falls out of his mouth and prevents an overdose
