SWJ Blog – Pentagon Weighs Social Networking Benefits, Vulnerabilities
This is an error on the part of DoD – and the effect will be compounded by the idiocy of the Left-wing Democrats in Congress trying to kill funding for public diplomacy, IO, EW while bloviating about nonexistent propaganda being directed at US citizens.
