I think you're missing the point; of course these conflicts need to be documented, but not by civilians with half a clue who are a massive danger to the patrols they're out with. Military photographers are trained soldiers who carry cameras, not university-educated photographers who see war as a bit of a jolly. We push 95% of our work into the National Press, because the tax-payers need to justify spending their money on our equipment, and where possible, support us.
A soldier carrying a camera is not a photojournalist. A soldier isn't impartial and he is subject to the law of his superiors, who are also not impartial. If We we left these things to the military we wouldn't see these images.

A world where the military is accountable to itself is not a world I want to live in.
