Doesn't it hurt when your pants are on fire like that?
Remember last week when it appeared a US unit in Afghanistan shot up everything in sight after they were attacked, and afterwards, the soldiers on the scene deleted photos from a number of news photographers?
Well, the military has issued an explanation.
Right.
Well, the military has issued an explanation.
The U.S. military asserted that an American soldier was justified in erasing journalists' footage of the aftermath of a suicide bombing and shooting in Afghanistan last week, saying publication could have compromised a military investigation and led to false public conclusions.....
He added that photographs or video taken by "untrained people" might "capture visual details that are not as they originally were."
Right.
