Silencing the Troops


The US Department of Defense has announced that soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan are now banned from using websites like YouTube and MySpace. Officials site "bandwidth" issues, despite having recently touted these sites as a means to reach out to a younger audience and highlight all good the soldiers have accomplished. With this decree, the DoD has also ignored the fact that most soldiers use the sites in question to communicate with loved ones back home.

How does this "support the troops"?
