This is apparently a two way political agenda. Suppressing info or photos from coming to the public's attention by a government is most certainly a political decision also. In my opinion, a far more heinous situation.
Government control of information that is not a risk to our national security is downright scary, indefensible, and should be actionable in court.
It really depends on the use of info. This pic was for the most part was accepted as a tribute to our fallen. After learning the history of the party putting it out there, I'm not sure that was it's intended use.
Must admit I am torn both ways by the policy. I hate to see this kind of stuff used to undercut our resolve.
