wired.com— For years, the military has been warning that soldiers' blogs could pose a security threat by leaking sensitive wartime information

I agree with readthis, better safe than sorry, at least password protect it so only your family can see it (if Google can't see it, the military can't find it.)
Whether someones life is on the line does not give them any special privilege to freedom of speech or confer special patriotic powers. It's a right of all. I applaud all service members but it's still a volunteer force and people choose to enlist or accept a commission. Before you go and digg me down as some left wing hippie I was there the first time around. Your rant reminded me of Col Jessup's just as self righteous. Someone who has not served in our all voluntary Military is no less patriotic than someone who does. Now dodging the draft or rigging the system so you don't have to serve is another story.

Success gravitates toward those who are perceived to be successful. Regardless of how you feel within, you must emanate success if you want to attract people to your cause.
Contractor rip-offs, Halliburton, mercenaries, massacres, big embassy, no running water, occupiers etc….. Not a very nice picture is it, yeah it’s a security risk but more for the administration then the soldiers.

they also might be refering to each "site." As in finding "fanboyz" 100 times on the digg web sites. But in the Marines each base has their own site, each unit has their own site, and so on. For each of those, they might link to 20 or more sites with information for families and such.examples: <a class="user" href="http://www.iimefpublic.usmc.mil/24meu">http://www.iimefpublic.usmc.mil/24meu</a><a class="user" href="http://www.usmc.mil/">http://www.usmc.mil/</a><a class="user" href="http://newriver.usmc.mil/">http://newriver.usmc.mil/</a>

A man's indebtedness is not virtue; his repayment is. Virtue begins when he dedicates himself actively to the job of gratitude.
