Well, there is huge precedent for this sort of thing (false reporting). During the terror campaign in Great Britain, Churchill's government did every to deny the fact that bombs were being dropped on London, until he was forced to admit it when casualties got too high. When Germany switched to the V2 rocket, the British government covered it up again. The V2 rocket didn't make a screeching noise (because it was supersonic), and thus, the government could cover this up.

During the Pacific Campaign, casaulties of each battle were a tightly guarded secret by the American Brass. If the general public knew the sorts of casualties their boys were taking, they would have opted out immediately. It wasn't until after the war was over that the full extent of American deaths/wounded were known. It also occurred in Vietnam, especially underreporting of the VC weaponry and tactics. It got so bad that the military began to believe their own propaganda. They were totally caught off guard by the Tet Offensive because they honestly didn't believe the VC was capable of such logistical feats.

Older generations never tire of reminding youth that the years they spend on college or university campus are formative moments in their lives, times that more often than not play an important role in shaping the trajectory of their future careers and helping to determine the types of adults that they will soon become. These are, after all, years where new life-long friendships are made, politics are formed, and ideas about one’s role in the world start to take hold. What these old-timers often don’t tell you is that if you play your cards right, they can also be the years when you participate in your first riot, flip over your first cop car, occupy your first faculty building, or topple your first government. On this, the 50th anniversary of the global uprisings of 1968, subMedia pays homage to the insurgent
