Oh yes. "Combat proven" is a much sought after sticker on any
death-tech. I always have wondered if the death-tech underground has a
similar thing going on e.g. wrt IED designs, suicide bomb belts etc.

wrt the whole camera from the noses of bombs.....you have to accept that
they are the pictures they want you to see. I have seen transmissions
(between bomb & aircraft) which were oddly never broadcast
because.....yes there is the target....oh look at the group of women &
kiddies making their way to school, the shops...or wherever they were off
to...... gosh they're passing the target wot is by now quite big....oh look
some kiddies are looking up....my my what keen eye sight....one could swear
that that kid started pointing at the bomb.....lost transmission....

Oddly there is actually quite a lot of such "coverage" but it is
never aired...look at the numbers of Lebanese dead in this Western bread
& circus bloodfest (Go the Blue team !!....Go the Green team !!!) &
ask how come so little "Nose cone TV".

One could draw all sorts of implications from that.

However......the nice thing about most such coverage that you see is ye
olde quip of a mate of mine wrt "Buildings don't bleed". OK so it
might be full of squishy apes wot do but....again the nice thing is that
the collapsing building acts like a blanket & so it all looks clean.

As an example the problem with the Twin towers was that they took so long
to come down. if you can see the people e.g. jumping out to go splat on the
ground etc then you have a "oh the humanity" moment
whereas......buildings don't bleed....

Compare the reaction to the Twin Towers where TV covered the live people
> a bit of gravity > splat with the Pentagon where what you saw was a
damaged building.

Equally when the Twin Towers came down, that was an impressive demolition.
No toppling etc just straight down. OK so intellectually you knew the
buildings were full of people getting pressed a bit flat like the jam in a
concrete sandwich but you couldn't see it so you didn't feel it.
