Yes different but not far away from hiding...you know a picture say's more then thousand word's, the pentagon knows that too. The difference is seeing 30 coffins on the way home, compared to one coffin returning to he's home village. 1 Coffin = Bad, but it is like it is. 30 Coffins on one Flight/Picture...terrible.

Is that what the Russian government is doing? Restricting photographs on government facilities to prevent bad optics (while allowing reporters to write, say, publish, and broadcast whatever they want)? Reporters in Russia are free to publish what they want? Remember, you brought this up to draw a parallel with what the Russian government is doing.

  >Is that what the Russian government is doing? No that's what the canceled US policy was for...did you still not read the article? In Russia you can't talk about it because it's a state secret now, means you are not allowed to talk about deaths in the "special" operation. No sure why you are so blind on one eye but not on the other? >Remember, you brought this up to draw a parallel with what the Russian government is doing. I did never said it's the same. But it has the same goal, try to hide the results of war on your own soldiers. As you can read: >>Yes different but not far away from hiding...you know a picture say's more then thousand word's, the pentagon knows that too.
