The military (all of them) already have better mapping or at least as 
good as OSM. SO mapping or not in OSM will have very little if any impact.

To my way of thinking changing anything in a war zone is futile! It 
could be bombed .. re constructed and bombed again before your changes 
are made.. just leave it alone.


Once peace descends then map - people there will be thankful for any 
help with up to the minute mapping of support infrastructure.
