Another topic was about Operational Security--we're certainly not the
only people watching the "show". The bad guys can use the pictures


as


up to the minute targeting information. I would think the on-scene
comanders just gotta HATE this.

Precisely! Thanks.




But, the on-scene commander controls the feed. From looking at when we do
and don't get picture, and when there is and is not a background, I'm
guessing that the US military has set forth very strict rules and that the
local commanders have both general orders and discretion in applying those
orders. My personal guess is that less information than we think is
available from the feeds.


But there is also that very nice opportunity for planting crucial misinformation. I mean if I were commander in chief I'd really take advantage of the manyfold possibillities for misinforming my enemy. So allowing in the media can be a double edged sword.
