Are the photos of battle damage really necessary to make the point?
generally speaking, showing photos of battle damage is doing BDA for the enemy, and is typically avoided unless it’s considered an already known quantity. Since you mentioned that “Thanks to confidential sources inside Iraq, I have relatively rare photos of an EFP strike”, it would seem that the pentagon would deem these photos an opsec violation. Unless you’ve got some kind of permission or can make a good arguement why it’s necessary, I think the photos should be removed from the post.
Otherwise, I appreciate the work you’re doing and the message you’re trying to get out.
