You and every politician in history on the losing side of a military coup can scream "that's illegal" till the cows come home, it won't change a thing.
I am more concerned that this change means the troubles our servicemembers are having with base HVA/C or water supplies may go unreported, than the risk of some kind of cultural conformity.
Forgive me for saying so, but it's basically state media. It's purpose more or less is to facilitate coverups and limited hangouts. This story is notable for the same reasons Colbert being cancelled was notable, it's a dispute within the mainstream / elite media.
(How you respond to these little transgressions will determine whether your society will recover to normal or slide further into ruin)
