i don't think more photos would have ended the war faster. we were all about glassing the middle east during the heaviest fighting, so more pics of the devastation would have only encouraged people. and pics of us soldiers being injured would also intensify war enthusiasm. |

Date: March 25th, 2026 11:24 AM Author: deep forum friendly grandma Very few people watch those, so I don't think it would have a significant impact, especially not beyond the impact the footage that already existed 10 or 20 years ago had. Wikileaks released this in 2010: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYTxuW2vmzk
Live news reports and color footage did turn public sentiment against the quagmire in Vietnam sooner than it might otherwise have turned. |

Date: March 25th, 2026 3:09 PM Author: bronze marvelous newt because they're trying get americans to support the war and join up. its the same as israel spamming pictures of attacks on them.
with iraq and afghanistan we saw footage in real time. more of it doesn't move the needle unless it's something we weren't aware of. |

Date: March 30th, 2026 1:27 PM Author: bronze marvelous newt ok, i watched it, and it is what i expected it was.
so what do you think this would have changed with iraq and afghanistan when:
1) combat videos like this were available and widely circulated and 2) this would bolster war enthusiasm, not pursuade people we should leave |
