Should Media Broadcast The Life Of The Military Personel?

I strongly disagree that the media should interfere with the military life.Firstly,media stepping into the military would cause military to become more like an orgainisation with lots of celebrity rather than a group of citizens protecting their countries.Recently,a group of military sailors got into the sea in the Iran area and were seized by the Iranians on the ester holidays.They were prisoned and asked to apologize through the media and this brought shame to the British military and the respect of the sailor would also be turnished.
In addition to that,after the sailors were released and went back to England,they sold their military stories and earned money through that way.

Some people may argue that the media could exist as a role to inform the public about the military so that we would understand more about the millitary and therefore able to have transparency.However,the life of the military became very open and not confidential anymore as in the past.This caused the degree of deterrance of the army to decrease , and it may lead into countries conflict or arguement which would lead to war and eventually serious societal problems.Hence i strongly disagree that the media should interfere with the military life.
