I did notice that your site says “You’re posting as Anonymous”, however, when you actually post, it lists you as “Anonymous Coward”. It speaks volumes of your site.

14 Marines were killed this week without the enemy knowing the time and location of that troop movement. Think of how many more soldiers would be killed if the enemy had advanced knowledge of movement and schedules. That is why there is a “filter process” in place for bloggers, a component of which is a time delay factor.
There are other bloggers over there who are as critical of the administration, however, they submit their blogs through the filter process. This blogger, it appears, did not. There are also standards and regs to follow, once again it appears this blogger did not follow them.
Judging by the relativly light punishment this person received, he was more than likely found guilty of a technical violation of the process. If he had devulged such sensative information, he would have gone to a full courts martial, been convicted, and would now be on his way to spend the rest of his remaining years at Knox or Levinworth as a PV nothing.
I will not address the subject of whether or not his actions negatively effected troop moral and of the merits, or lack of, of a case for trail under the UCMJ as “Conduct Unbecomming”, or the ever present “Aid and Comfort” section.

His daughters are TOO GOOD to fight along side of us unwashed masses. This is the same for just about all of Congress. I believe that there is only one Congressman that has an ENLISTED child in the military. All the other congressional offspring in service are officers.

This is typical of the lamestream media both on the left and right.
