Not necessarily. But has she been in a war zone? I doubt very much that Melbourne was a close 2nd to Baghdad, or Kabul or Syria. I accept it was probably difficult and unusual...but ...war zone? Probably not.This is the problem with media normalising rhetoric and hyperbole. Language is how we communicate. *smile* with that, you *smile* with everything.
Big talk there Knighter, what the hell do you reckon you'd do in that situation or what you'd think or how'd you cope.
It was probably difficult or unusual ...wow do you think so ? ................. you've got no idea unless you've ever been a first responder in such a situation.
If you have actually been a soldier in those war zones or lived in one then i accept what would be a perceived frustration.

I vet what youre saying (people use "awesome" to describe watching tv!) but im not going to bag someone for using "war zone" to describe what wouldve been a horrific sight and i dont blame the "media" for simply reporting the words that interviewees use.KnightersRevenge said:

I don't wish to diminish the job of ambos or paramedics at all. I hope I never need them but I love them all (been a big Christmas Eve here, might be a bit loose witb the 'love' but you get what I mean). But I feel there is still room to bemoan the deterioration of language and the use of hyperbole.
Had an enjoyable time at the MCG today. Although they let in some Muslims there were no terrorists that I spotted.
It was a comment directed at those on here who seem to believe that the solution to stop the nutters is to target adherents of particular religions.

True it is a different world now all over the globe CC. However I didn't go cause the Poms have already been terrorised by the Australians. Series is over.
