Imdying. Remove you unedited picture please.
Every newssite around the world has ceased using them photos - as its accepted it puts the guys at risk. Thats our kiwi soldiers your doin that to.

Deliberately?

Yes, and it puts me at a decided advantage.

They don't know what I look like.

pretty fucked really.

Utgarde made a fuck up by getting that photo out so quickly - AFP news types spread it far and wide.
Once it was thought to be a SAS unit, publishing the photo included pixelated faces to help protect their identities. The Herald fucked up bigtime, but since then has removed the unedited pics from online. All major western media has removed the unedited versions.
They would LOVE to publish them - the faces are extraordinary. Amazing photos. But its not right to fuck them over like that.

Regardless of your thoughts on NZ being involved in Afghan. Our government has sent our guys over there. By publishing their pics, you place them at risk, more risk than they are already facing.

Why do that to our own guys?

But have you seen much work from the UN on this?

Too far for them.
I kid you not - you will find UN barely travel a few thousand Km Europe.
Syria in within lazy reach though.

If these guys were that worried about their photo being taken why would they stare down the barrel of a camera?

Becuase the Professionals over there know not to publish their pics unedited.

Why do you think even the Herald has removed all traces of the unedited photos online. And various websites are discussing this fuckup in security?

Its almost like our Government didn't do their job.........no wait they didn't.

Lot of good our "National Security Division" is.....can't even stop a photo getting into the national paper.

Probably because some Colonel told them to.

I don't think the guys on the ground much give a fuck.

I mean, did Willie Apiata VC think "Oh no's, people know what I look like now - I'm going to have to become a gardener".

**jaffaonajappa** · 1st July 2011, 19:40

ive always wondered why undercover cops sometimes have messy beards and long hair. Why dont they have a normal coppers kind of look.
And....why are the Armed defenders squad guys always masked up?
Its really strange.
Unless you think about it.
