DOD owns the Internet connections that the Troops use in theater and they can make the rules. I believe is a COMSEC issue the lamebrains at AP are losing their best source of military bashing material.
Soldiers can go wherever they want on their own computers...but they shouldn’t be going to places like MySpace on DOD computers.

I agree for the most part. But, when soldiers are in Iraq or Afghanistan, they have no access to computers other than DOD computers. They don’t go home at the end of the day, and they need some communication and relaxation with their friends and family back home. (These sites are great for keeping them connected and I am sure it has some positive morale factors)
I would think they could allow it for the soldiers that are deployed in the ME, and maybe put some limits on it. No one who has access to their own computers should be using DOD computers to access those sites though.
