unhappycamper note: Since the Pentagon has ‘requested’ that I only post one paragraph from articles on
Army Times, and
Airforce Times, I’ve decided to give ya’ll an unhappycamper summary of the article and a link to the OP. To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on
Navy Times,
Marine Corps Times,
stripes.com and
military.com.
To read the article in the military's own words, you will need to click the link.
I didn't realize that the Pentagon/MIC could restrict my
First Amendment rights as well as morph the
Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 107 with zero, zip, nada Congressional approval. It sure is beginning to smell like fascism.[br />
