Access Cut From Troops' Computers Because Of Bandwidth, Information Sharing Concerns

It was a long time ago (1960s & 1970s), in a land far, far away (RVN), when the soldiers were told to destroy personal mail. This way, if you were caught, the enemy couldn't reach your family back home and tell them you were dead.

Those were just paper and ink - imagine what all is available about you and your family electronically.

Ahhh -
The Pentagoons are doing what King Bu$h always wanted...
Cutting off troops' access to information will also cut troop morale.
Since the TRUTH is on the internet, fascists fear it.
Just because Bu$h can't use the internet, doesn't mean the rest of US shouldn't...

These Bushies will to any length to cut the troops off from the rest of the world.

Just because the Bush Administration lives in an information vacuum, at least from the reality of non- spun info, does not mean that our troops have to be in the same position.

Censorship is the Bush and Rebpublicon way.

We all know why the Pentagoons want no access to the REAL news sources.
Blatant and stupid as their Commander-in-Thief...
Let's take America back from the fascists.

Have to be able to control the propaganda I guess. That is too bad as alot of soldiers use that thing to communicate with their friends and families. This will probably be reversed.
