Explain this to me

This seems to be a near classic example of hiding bad news behind "protecting the troops."
The Pentagon is refusing to release data on how many soldiers have suffered brain injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan. It says disclosing the results would put the lives of those fighting at risk.

If you can tell me how the release of that data puts lives at risk, I'd really like to hear it.

  • It's just Pentagon-speak for, "...because it would make us look really, really bad."

  • Can we get that in English Tele?

  • So, tele has the best guess, that it would somehow demoralize the guys on patrol.

    So, y'all can't figure that statement out either.
