We did have these reporters in WWII and since then, and they were indeed "embedded" into battle. The general population knew about these deaths, although the US government toned them down.

There are huge differences here.....

For example, the civil war was fought with rifles that fired one shot a minute. In WWII, We had machine guns and dropped bombs - The US killed tens of thousands with two bombs dropped on Japan alone.

In the current war things are much more different.... We can not only target certain buildings, but certain rooms. We can see them from miles away before they even know we are there....
