sounds like a good idea it will prevent a lot of those military suicides that have been happening, but the main threat to this is releasing sensitive information that might endanger soilders in the field. But we aren't dealing with a technologically sophisticated enemy in the middle east so i don't think that will be a problem.


People are killing themselves because they can't get on Twitter? Or is it because of post-traumatic stress disorder and a lack of support or understanding once they get home?

@GI_Joe Don't do it, man!
