Army Strong! Internet Bad!
The Army decided to restrict the use of certain websites, YouTube and MySpace being prominently mentioned. While I might somewhat agree with the notion that the Army needs to restrict bandwidth use, censoring soldiers is always the wrong answer. The so-called “positive spin” is never, ever seen in the news. Ever. The Army is trying to mitigate this by posting official videos and photos to these sites.
Especially since most of the public is so incredibly ignorant about the day to day our military has in Iraq. They get more information from Hollywood than they do from the people who live it.
Great, while these videos are obvious hackish attempts at propaganda from retarded children, at least they are as exciting to watch as paint drying. How about we let the soldiers put their unedited views up for the public to see? Should the Pentagon be afraid of what the troops think and do? Because the “wrong message” might get out?
That probably sounds better in the original German anyway.
