I was just getting started in journalism when the ban went into effect, and it actually made things worse. There were rumours about thousands of body bags being made and the obfuscation from the Bush I team did nothing to clear up any fears.
Our casualties for that were what, 141 dead from combat missions?
All the ban did was heighten suspicions that thousands of our troops would get killed. Like the second gulf war.
