How do you feel about increasing media coverage in war zones?

Andy McNab (Author/Special Forces Expert) gives expert video advice on: You submit your work to the MOD to be vetted for security purposes, what type of thing are they worried about?; Was writing 'Bravo Two Zero' a useful way of dealing with the trauma you experienced?; You run courses for members of the media who have to operate in hostile situations, what type of thing do you teach them? and more...

The speaker on the video tries to display the pro's and con's of increasing media coverage in war zones. In my opinion on the pro side the speaker suggest the more the general public knows about what is happening in the war, the better. On the con side the writer suggest that the media is anti government so any increased media coverage will be bias against the military. In my opinion increasing the coverage would be bad because the coverage the media presents will create a false illusion of what is really going on in the war. To show the true picture of people getting killed on both side of the fight are sohorrifying the public would be able to look at them. Also no amount of media coverage would be able to show the psychological damage to soldier who actually witness the casualties of war. If the media increases coverage of the war it would be only perpetuating a lie of adventure and excitement instead of showing the realities of emotional scars that will effect young men the rest of their lives
