Military to Avoid Embarrassing Pictures by Banning Photography

May 30th, 2012

Via: Anti War:

It sounds like the punchline of a bad joke, but after years of dealing with photographs of troops torturing prisoners, desecrating corpses and generally behaving badly, commanders in southwestern Afghanistan have announced that they are going to solve the problem by banning photography.

The command, which covers some 36,000 troops including 15,800 US Marines, announced that troops will only be allowed to take photographs for “official purposes,” and will no longer be taking “happy snaps,” apparently the official name for pictures like those showing US Marines urinating on corpses in the nation.

    I suspect this is probably a preemptive ass covering for the pending wholesale slaughter of everything breathing in targeted areas of Iran. Photos of nuked corpses would bring about such an upheaval world wide that commanders cannot allow such a risk. Evil bastards.
