4. There is some need for discretion in reporting by the military

But I wonder if this will be the new norm - next to no details about casualties. While there may be some justification for this, it also could easily be a general rationale for covering up incompetence by command, atrocities on either side, or just the general conduct of the war. In a democracy, this should not be acceptable.
