How does that even begin to address, let alone refute my post?

- It is ONLY blocked from DOD computers.

- Unclassified DOD computers are required to block classified content.

- Most Soldiers don't don't even visit The Guardian

- Most Soldiers don't use DOD computers to surf the web

- ALL Soldiers have some kind of internet access outside of DOD computer, i.e. iPhones, come computers, internet cafe's.

- The US army encourages its members to keep up with current events, as is evident that at every single promotion board the Soldier will be asked about - and expected to know about current events.

- On DOD computers you can still visit entire swaths of the rest of the internet talking about Prism, from MSNBC, NPR, the Rachael Maddow show, and countless other sources.

Didn't you do well enough on the ASVAB to get into the Navy or Airforce?

My scores qualify me for literally every MOS in every branch of service, but you were close.

Well hell them Air Force fellers are smart good looking and tough to boot. I know they had some parachute packing facilities so they must have jumped out of airplanes. I myself had the boredom of watching out of a tower securing priority A resources. Would have gone on a jump on vacation which I am on now except for the time they require for the class.
