IIRC, publishing photographs (or video) of POWs is a war crime.

Taking prisoners is counterproductive. You have to guard and sustain them, at the cost of availability for combat of troops and sustenance for them and your own people.

Nope, not so. There are millions of pictures of POWs everywhere in every war
