He violated his oath and broke the law, if he had questions he should have bumped it up the chain of command or if he really wanted to be a whistle blower, contact a Senator or Representative, you know like the guys behind the Pentagon Papers did.
How is the US immigration debate being dictated by the Bible?
"In God We Trust" is not Christian, it's Deist or pan-denominational.
The US has had 10 presidents who were "not affiliated" and six others as "religious views doubtful". Quakers, Catholic, Baptists, Jewish Vice-President, so yes the US entertains the possibility of a leader who is not a strict Protestant. 76% of Americans are identified as Christian, so of course the bulk of the politicians are coming from that pool.
Oh, I don't forget the "whole Nazi affair", after all 95% of my German and Polish relatives ended up under Panzer treads or in ovens.
It is a giant leap of Godwining to go from the Apache gun cam video which clearly showed assault rifles and a high probability of RPG to "just following orders".
Fog of War isn't just a gaming term about revealing the map, but "describes the level of ambiguity in situational awareness experienced by participants in military operations. The term seeks to capture the uncertainty regarding own capability, adversary capability, and adversary intent during an engagement, operation, or campaign."
It's clear to me, who only spent nine months in a combat area and that was a few km from the front, that what happened in that helicopter video (which wikileaks edited the way they wanted", that fog of war was in full effect as was dehumanization of the targets on the ground.
Oh yea, I was supposed to recall the news from 8 years and 11 months ago, something that happened before I had a traumatic brain injury and a giant tumor in my neck (aka 5 surgeries ago).
Umm, Minnesota lost to Carolina on Sunday, that really torqued me off since it was supposed to be the Vikings year.
Lion of the Panshir was killed by Al Qadea, on the 9th/10th.
Al Asqa intifada was going strong.
So, without googing, what were the major news stories on August 1 1990? Or hell, December 6th 1941. Or March 14th 1994?
So, sitting in a server room with the orders of "keep the network going" and "don't poke around in stuff you shouldn't" was too damned Nazi-rific for this soldier to obey. And after he got into a fight with another soldier and was demoted he suddenly had to standup against, whatever, and poke around the network like he wasn't supposed to, then start trading files that he knew he shouldn't be in.
Not trading files and State Department cables has nothing to do with the Nuremberg Defense. The soldier in question is a mistake maker in his personal and professional life.
"Theocracy is a form of government in which a god or deity is recognized as the state's supreme civil ruler, or in a higher sense, a form of government in which a state is governed by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided."
"Iran's government is described as a "theocratic republic".Iran's head of state, or Supreme Leader, is an Islamic cleric appointed for life by an elected body called Assembly of Experts. The Council of Guardians, considered part of the executive branch of government, is responsible for determining if legislation is in line with Islamic law and customs (the Sharia), and can bar candidates from elections, and greenlight or ban investigations into the election process."
A dictatorship is ruled by an individual. So like Iraq before Operation Iraqi Freedom kicked him out of power.
He did, willfully it looks like, violate Article 92 (Failure to obey order or regulation) and Article 134 (General Article (Article 134) encompasses offenses that are not specifically listed in the Manual for Courts-Martial: all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces, and crimes and offenses not capital, of which persons subject to this chapter may be guilty).
If I were to copy sensitive data from my workplace and put it out in the wild, I'd be subject to criminal penalties as well. Does that mean I'm "blindly following" my "master" when I respect the law?
Because he violated operational security which lead to the two charges filed against him.
Misconduct charges were brought against him for "transferring classified data onto his personal computer and adding unauthorized software to a classified computer system" and "communicating, transmitting and delivering national defense information to an unauthorized source".
Both are violations of the UCMJ.
When he became a soldier in the US Army he performed this oath
"I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
So he disobeyed the orders of the officers appointed over him and violated the Uniform Code of Military Justice, why shouldn't his ass be sitting in a cell?
Ship the media to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, the South Pole, US Navy submarines, etc. There will be machines to read the media that survive EMP strikes across the US, EU, wherever.
Jon Katz replied to my emails a couple times, the dude seemed good natured but just clueless.
But his stories were idiotic and/.'s editors just had too much manlove for him, I finally had to say bye to Jon Katz, I think it was around Columbine time.
EMP isn't going to do anything to optical disks and the effects of EMP is often exaggerated in the media.
A few strategically scattered EMPs are not going to destroy all magnetic media and even if it were to destroy 99.999% of civilian data there are still terabytes and terabytes of national archives, corporate archives, and backups in secure, hardened sites and facilities in the United States and Canada. EMPs across North America to destroy the heartland of the US and Canada won't effect Hawaii, Guam, data on warships/submarines, Okinawa, Diego Garcia, Alaska, the South Pole, US corporations and embassies overseas.
"An EMP would probably not erase data stored on magnetic tape."
The reporter I think of the most as being a die hard embed is Michael Yon, who keeps going back to Afghanistan and covers the reconstruction while showing the true state of the war there.
Winnable/unwinnable, I don't know, but reading Yon, I really think Afghanistan is never going to be winnable by anyone, not even the Afghanis.

Other countries have similar instillations.

Russia has the Sura Ionospheric Heating Facility, in Vasilsursk near Nizhniy Novgorod.

Grumpy old man clause it is then.
Its the crusty old men are grumpy clause.
Actually, Article I, Section 8 “To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States,”
That would be a theocracy. Not a dictatorship.

How is the US a theocracy?
It is a theocracy and democracy at the same time, but not a dictatorship.
It is not a dictatorship.
Misguided, dangerous, theocratic, abusive, yes. But not a dictatorship.

I've never seen a punch card outside of a display or museum.
Since /. was started in '97 and went to accounts, what in '98, we weren't using punchcards then.
I would have been a 2 or 3 digit but I didn't see the point in registering at first.

Because after a few minutes you just won't smell it anymore.
I've worked in a sewage treatment plant doing process pipe design. You don't smell it after about 5-10 minutes.
He is still blocked on my account.
I'd really hope not.
Else we'd see reporters used in the same role Political Commissars/zampolit were used in the Soviet Red Army.
I'm sorry, the only source of information about a war is a picture of a dead soldier in a major newspaper?
I just googled combat dead in Iraq and found photos.
Desert Storm had a press pool.

In OIF we had embedded reporters who had much less restrictive rules than Grenada, Panama, Bosnia, Serbia or Desert Storm had.
