It's a really handy way for those running things, the ruling elite, and involved in warfare to prevent those with direct knowledge of events from telling truth, enabling the warfare to continue and guys like fintstone et al to continue to say that you have to be there to understand and that every soldier supports the war.
This young man's information and opinion is valuable, and he's heroic for presenting it in public.
