The Air Force is warning airmen not to be facebooking from a war zone so they don't give away their locations for those airmen who have blackberries and such

At any rate - here's a couple thoughts.   I understand intelligence being a concern - you don't want to broadcast anything in regards to morale and strategies.  But they are concerned about terrorists being able to track individual airmen via Facebook. Since they want everyone killed - what difference does it make?  OH oh oh - got it - they want ALL of us killed - just they will shout MY name before they detonate the next bomb killing us all.  Got it  - riiiiight. 

I mean - Air Force is the only branch I know who's servicemen have TIME to be doing facebook on a mission and then the Air Force tells them not to be on facebook because "We don't want them to know we're here."   How concealed and secret can you actually be if your blackberry is working and you have time to facebook?  You're not in the jungle or in the middle of the desert and would have to be close to a cell phone tower so it can't be TOO bad.
