Why stop with the Marines? Let’s just ban all discussion of anything related to the military by anyone, including the press and the Congress. It would be more secure.

Does it not occur to the author that many/most Marines are married these days, and the military can’t exactly court martial spouses? Instructing servicemembers on the risks of abusing social networking is probably a better idea. I could never see any upside in treating a man you ask to risk his life for this country like a child.
