One more time for the slow and old...
IF the law did what you say it would, they would be specific about how it did when reporting it in such a media. That not even one media outlet has been silenced in such a way, with even laws that are current mentioned, pretty much tells me that what you are attempting to pass hasn't been proposed or put into any action whatsoever.
It is scare tactic, spin, propaganda, not true in any reality other than your assumption.
That being said, the names being public domain, it will be difficult for them to stop the use in this way if it is a political statement regardless of whether people are selling them or not.
I disagree the 'names' of the fallen nor 'pictures' of same are not 'Public Domain' imho..the numbers of casualties are however...permission to use the names or pictures is granted to the next of kin!
This is true, but it doesn't change that they can read their names and do regularly. What you say is in there, isn't. Even in laws as they are applied now.
Whether it is right, we can discuss. But it is unnecessary to pretend that it does something that it does not while we discuss it other than to promote something that isn't true... Nobody has stopped them from reporting names of fallen soldiers, that is spin.
It isn't. Just as your image isn't private when you are in a public place. People can take your photo as long as you are in public, you have no recourse to expect privacy. They are in the public arena whether or not you agree with it. As adults their names can and will be reported.
