The Concept of WAR on TV

We talked about something in class for just a few minutes but I really thought it was interesting. Dr. Lambiase discussed how there's two types of wars: The actual war occurring and the war & camera type of war. The war & camera war is put straight onto TV. What's interesting is that people tend to act differently in front of the camera than when they are not in front of the camera. The idea of being viewed makes people not act the way they usually do, thus altering what is REALLY happening. Dr. Lambiase at this time brought up a good point that makes one ponder if it will ever be possible: Can the ACTUAL war be put on TV, is it possible to pass/ignore the war & camera-type war and get the actual events to the audience?
