I have heard some people say, that when a war begins, truth dies first.
Is that the case?
Truth doesn't exactly die, but it is usually put on life support and hidden in a closet. That is to be expected. It's intent is to mobilize the civilian population to support what would otherwise be unpopular decisions.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
