US Marine Corps Bans Social Networking Sites
Q-Hack! writes "Citing security concerns, the United States Marine Corps has issued an order banning access to social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter on its network for the next year. The Pentagon is now reviewing its social networking policy for the entire Department of Defense, which should be completed by the end of September, according to a report from CNN. The policy for the entire military is somewhat fragmented, as the Army ordered military bases to allow access to social media sites in May."
Please forgive them they are Americans. You know the same people where most of them can't even find Iraq on a map. The same ones that think New Mexico is a foreign country. Or the where one recent vice-president said he never went to Latin America because he never studied Latin in school. They also don't realize that since the real name of the country is written in Arabic even "Iraq" is NOT the way the country is spelled, but rather a convention. As an American, there is nothing you did to pardon. What is shameful is the ethnocentricity of my fellow countrymen.
