Military warns soldiers not to post info on Facebook
Canadian Military dosen’t want the soldiers to post private or any military information here. Reasoning is that they don’t want them to be made targets for Al Qaeda, or give them any other information. the money quote is at the end.
But Sunil Ram, a professor of military history and land warfare at American Military University, questioned the military’s warnings about posting information online.
“What we’re really talking about is censorship more than anything else,” he said on Monday. “This is the military’s attempt to control the imagery of what is actually happening on the ground.”
