Military Considers Recruiting & Hiring Bloggers
In media news, new questions are being raised over the relationship between the Pentagon and bloggers. Wired.com has uncovered a 2006 study written for the US Special Operations Command that suggests the military should clandestinely recruit or hire prominent bloggers. The report stated, Hiring a block of bloggers to verbally attack a specific person or promote a specific message may be worth considering. The report also suggested the Pentagon hack blogs that promote messages that are antithetical to US interests. The report went on to say, Hacking the site and subtly changing the messages and data merely a few words or phrases may be sufficient to begin destroying the bloggers credibility with the audience.

So are you in the Military?
Yolah. I am not in the military. I am adamantly opposed to military in any nation. I work towards evolving from it. The Military and its apparatuses are solely designed to destroy. Are you in the military?
Hell no! want to but im only i high school still, dont even have a ship out date, ive wanted to join scince i was 12 or so....
How do you picture it? How do you see yourself in the military? Why do you want to join the military?
There is a man in the military that I respect greatly for his courage. Here is a short piece he wrote. http://www.ratical.o...saracket.html
Yolah
You don't have to be talented or clever to be in the military. After all, anyone can get killed.
How do i picture it? Not heroic or romantic or superhero style like in "Behind Enemy Lines," No but instead as the most terrfiying moments of my life, but proud, its a rush, just the thought of this, you have to want this, to know why, even though the terrors and thought of knowing you could die in the next minute, i guess its just a basic thought of me no longer existing and knowing that while im in the service, that i know ive helped make difference, no matter ho small or great it may be
A quote i made long ago may help sum this up, "My deepest fear is that i'll look back on my life and wonder what i did with it."
Im opposed to the war i iraq now and think that the loss of life is tto much of a risk for the American troops and more importantly, the Iraqi people
I understand your sentiment. I THINK you could make a greater difference NOT being in the military. But I don't know for sure, only you know.
I say I "think" because don't you loose your voice when you are in the military. You have to follow orders blindly without question, and if you don't follow orders you could be shot by your superior.
What if you are given a mission to take a small village out? Then later you find out it was for money. Not freedom, or democracy, or the surrounding peoples best interest even.
American media propagates adrenaline. As if we didn't feel alive enough as we are.
this is when i leve my contry and abandon all rights i have tied to it, but only when i do the mission.
