War photography has the power to dictate a story line, create a lasting, memorable impression, and in some cases, serve as significant influencers of how the public understands war. They can cement a defining moment that offers a new reference point for the American public. While it is nearly impossible to judge the effect of a photograph in and of itself, as part of the larger picture of war, a photograph can influence, spark discussion and either perpetuate patriotism or erode support. However, it is the subjective nature of photographs that creates an ongoing tension between the producers of images and a government that fears its inability to control the interpretation of images. Photographs alone are not enough to sway public opinion either for or against a war, but the presence and proliferation of images of death and destruction can reinforce pre-existing public attitudes about the war being contested. Because of this, the American government has recently imposed restrictions on images of American casualties in order to stifle dialog that counters its desire to mobilize mass support for a war. In recent wars and conflicts, these restrictions have come primarily in two forms, either as strict censorship, or as context control. However, the government doesn't necessarily impose restrictions on the news media in wartime because the media are influencing public opinion, but instead because the media are reinforcing and spreading pre-existing opinions that conflict with the government's motives. In most cases, the controls are highly effective in preventing a picture of the true cost of war, and keeping public outrage over fatalities to a minimum.
