Additionally: If a nation is incapable of maintaining a semblance of order, or sifting the facts from the lies, even in a line of work that depends entirely on such a skill, then I can't imagine that the WA writing rules on the chalkboard about how "None of us should lie" as if we are in Kindergarten is going to help.
Misinformation is a certifiably useful form of warfare, not only to the enemy in an intelligence or counterintelligence form, but also when it comes to garnering political support in other theaters of the world. There is nothing wrong with informing the masses of observers that your military is going to do one thing, then do another entirely, because that is simply how Military Intelligence factions work. This clause comes dangerously close to abolishing that, as well as making a class of international criminals out of soldiers who simply misspoke, were not properly informed, or even have a standing order to lie about anything a reporter asks them.
