Also, go through the Ukraine thread and tell me every post is wholly concerned with the air war and nothing more.
Sorry, that's just wrong. There is lots of material on the ground war in the Ukraine thread. It isn't just the air war. VM is right.

Back to aviation and war:
Reporters looking up, and being nervous/afraid when a drone is over head and bombs are falling is exactly what they signed up for.
You want to cover a war? You may die doing so. Ernie Pyle, among others, lost his life covering a war.
Chris Hedges wrote an interesting book about wars and covering wars: War is a Force That Gives us Meaning.
He had spent about twenty years as an adrenaline junkie a war reporter, covering wars large and small all over the world.
