The problem with classifying this event as censorship is the subjectivity of the argument. One can propose that an individual is a subject of a government whose sole purpose is the malicious discredit of unfavorable information pertaining to that particular government's desired propaganda, but we can also propose that this particular individual believes that government conspiracies to undermine the public opinion on internet forums seems irrational.

I think we can all agree that both are entirely feasible, but remain unable to provide substantial evidence that discredits the other.

The problem you'll find when asking this question is how little emphasis is placed on the location of an event rather than the event itself. Most people don't pay particular attention to the location of a foreign event because it holds no substantial significance to them.

Ask this question to a forum of military veterans that have deployed to these locations and you will most definitely see the response in which you were searching. As a veteran, I can say that most people will neglect these details until faced directly with the necessity of remembering.
