This is how you cover up a PR nightmare. The government is afraid of reporting a massacre, that the public may be shocked by the disparity in casualties. Anyone just reading the papers would notice this was a disproportionately large number of dead. You can make any failed mission look like a success, though, if you give everyone medals.
