Quote by Robert Capa
I would say that the war correspondent gets more drinks, more girls, better pay, and greater freedom than the soldier, but at this stage of the game, having the freedom to choose his spot and being allowed to be a coward and not be executed for it is his torture.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the contrasting experiences of a war correspondent and a soldier. While the correspondent may enjoy certain advantages like drinks, girls, pay, and freedom, he faces a different kind of torment. The freedom to choose their position and the ability to retreat without facing consequences can haunt a war correspondent. This paradox suggests that while they enjoy certain privileges, they are plagued by the knowledge that their safety comes at the cost of potentially sacrificing one's duty or honor in the face of danger.
