Because most war footage is shown after the fact? It is edited beyond belief anyway, and has been since television began. I know, my Dad worked for CBS and would be disgusted with that, came home felt so,,,, dirty to be a part of that, although his department was audio, he watched film being thrown out of frontline tv reporting. I was maybe 13-14, so didnt register his moral struggle. He had a good job with a 6th grade education (self educated), knew his radio and audio as an excellent technician. Anything, and I mean, anything that is available for the common peasant to see has been altered.Anything eyewitness will not be around for a long time. And if it's put out on any media? It can be anything. From a practical standpoint, why would any military operation allow itself to be recorded? I wouldn't.
