Iran's media was being suppressed and censored

A proper chain of command is crucial to the effective operation of any organization. How you chose to describe those with more authority than you is a moot point, they must be respected regardless. And as has been pointed out, the military is not a democracy. We are here to preserve it, not to practice it.

I agree with you!I do myspace but have been pestered into joining facebook recently.Cant stand that site,all the pokes and invites and sharing infomation to accept them!I log on there a couple of times a month to reply to mail,and thats about it
wont even bother with twitter,myspace and ATS are hassle free
Concerning the thread-yeahh I can see security issues when soldiers do blogs but there must be a way round this.To a lot of our boys out there these sites must be a great way to comunicate with old mates easily and share photos of thier lives.It has to be a welcome break from the normal day job out there!
