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.

Don’t be silly.
It is important to show the enemy that they have an option other than “die fighting.” Taking prisoners is very productive.
