This has been happening since 2004. I have tried to explain this to this guy, but he refuses to acknowledge it. Blogs, streaming video sites, porn sites, and civilian e-mail sites such as hotmail are unauthorized due to bandwidth complications, viruses, and intelligence leaks. President Obama has done nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, this is a military decision.
They also cannot bring their cell phones across the ocean either because they are not secure and they risk giving away positions. If he is going to complain about security considerations as a way of "controlling" or "censoring" or "isolating" our troops then surely he would go as far as to criticize the denial of cell phones as well for the same reason.
All he's doing is political bashing and using the troops to do it. It pisses me off because it ultimately places the military in the spotlight for nothing.
Look Sarge,,,I work for a Defense Corp that sets up Networks aboard Some of our ships. So I have some background on Secure Networks...:roll: Agreed,,,there are real concerns in certain aspects of the Internet. What I'm against is the Mandatory Censorship set in place. There's easy enough ways to make sure you have an isolated Network set up strictly indendent of the Military Network...
I support the Troops. And,,,Freedom.
