There is a reason why they monitor and limit access...it's called a "war zone". Most of you sit behind your cushy computers, doing nothing but criticizing the war, Bush and the military. Not even understanding or knowing the guts and pride in American that our military men and women have. Of course you will critique and play "Monday morning quarterback". Most of you would be too scared to even go through Paris Island. My husband left for yet another year deployment to Iraq last month and I can tell say, you have NO idea what they go through. This limit on what internet sites you can access is because of the security issues. Censorship is not what is happening here. It is keeping our Marines and Soldiers as safe as possible. When I even get the opportunity to talk to my husband on the phone, you just know that it can be monitored. That keeps my husband safe from terrorists that don't care about their own people let alone my husband. You watch your little clips the news give you and ONLY listen to what the PRESS wants you to hear (meaning...what gets people talking, not necessarily the entire story). They hold up this news man Bob Woodruff and report his progress constantly. What about the men and women who are hurt or injured every day there? Do they ever report in as much detail about them? Give me a break! Just another example of cushy reporters that are treated like they are doing something so outstanding when everyday my husband and others face worse danger. If they are censoring, they are doing a pretty crappy job because CNN and other news sources are on 24/7 in the chow hall at Camp Fallujah Iraq. Seriously, give me a break. Get off your butts and do something about this world rather than criticizing those who actually DO and who have over hundreds of years given you the right to be on a website like this and speak your mind!! Now, bring on your nasty comments because that is your right that my husband and the military affords you! Ooorah! Semper Fi!
