Leaked Helmet Cam Footage from Australian Soldiers in Afghanistan

Note sure if the video will work everywhere outside Aus, but you should be able to read the story. http://hungrybeast.abc.net.au/stories/defence-secrecy

Why would our defence department still require the footage to be witheld in order to no jeopardise operations, when it had already been through the Army chain of command and cleared for public viewing?

The footage itself is pretty good and the even stranger thing is when the story was cleared, the only thing highlighted was the wounded soldiers, NOT the successful operation!

What do these morons in Canberra think we want to hear?

Thought as much. If I can find a site hosting a freely available one I'll post it.
