#2 On one hand I can see the Army's point about wanting to corral in leaks about operations. But I would add that only the Army has made this an order so the Airman, Sailors, and Marines are covered by the order. Also if a soldier really wants to get his mesage on the web he could do so by sending his message to a 3rd party. It's a bad rule that will hurt morale.

#3 You just knew this was going to happen. The military has never been known as a free, democratic operation. Too much real info escaping.

Big f**king duh! Did you spend an hour coming up with that?

Too much real info escaping.

Sometimes too much real info gets real people killed. Ever thought of that?

I'm with P2K. Verify first.

#6 They are all volunteers. Volunteers who took an oath. That oath involves among other things, defending democracy, not necessarily participating in it. Appears to be way too much time on soldier's hands these days, the 9-5 rear area shuck and give "fobbit," it ain't my MOS syndrone for many, not all mind you. I think KBR is feeding they much too well. Appears AR 600-9 was trashed quite a while back. I've never seen such grossly overweight rear area slugs. Get off the computer, do some PT, and give that poor bastard outside the wire a break. There, I said it.
