            • It would appear his superiors frown upon activities such as posting threads like this and that is why he no longer posts updates in this thread.

                Yeah, loose lips sink ships. As if it was still WW2. If that is the reason, America is a sick joke of a democracy...

                EDIT: But I should not be too harsh, we used to have similar rules too, back in the Cold War when I was in the service. You were not supposed to do things like discuss politics or participate in demonstrations while in uniform. And last time they called me for a refreshment excercise, we were not allowed to bring mobile phones. But society has changed dramatically since then. Now policemen in uniform could even participate in the Gay Pride parade without risk of getting punishment.

                  I'm not sure why...I can't think of anything he posted that violated OPSEC.

                  • Well, it should not be news to anyone, but his posts have once again confirmed the notion that NCO's get a lot more done w/o officers mucking about.

                    Perhaps they (the officer corp) don't like to look bad. Course it was never like that back in VietNam era.

                          • Here is a link to a Los Angeles Times story about Iraq blogs by soldiers from the Sunday, September 5, 2004 edition.

                            With American bloggers reporting on life in Iraq, the war is only a mouse click away


                            This is a link to the NPR.org story refered to in the LA Times article.

                            Military officials are cracking down on blogs written by soldiers and Marines in Iraq, saying some of them reveal sensitive information. Critics say it's an attempt to suppress unflattering truths about the U.S. occupation.


                            And a link to the Dagger JAG blog in the NPR story.

                              Technically, that's incorrect. I would say we're not suppose to say what the other clearences are, but I've heard them referenced in Stargate: SG-1
