As a bonus: early YKos Kidz shout down soldier who suggests surge might be working. File under *not shocked*
There's absolutely no way what this guy was doing could even remotely be considered 'political activity'. Since when is suggesting that the military is doing a good job a political statement? DOD releases on a daily basis similar statements. Clearly the moderator was trying to intimidate this soldier.
For instance, this video was released by the DOD today of a soldier talking about the effectiveness of the troop surge. They encourage this sort of thing.
As I told Charles when he e-mailed me about it: I wouldn't be surprised if the soldier was at YKos in an official capacity.
UPDATE: Allah has a good linkfest, but I don't see how this was particularly 'political'? Again, I'd suggest, given that DOD is finally playing offense in trying to get the word out that the surge is working, that this guy was probably there in an official capacity, and thus, "authorized by competent authority."
Maybe somebody should track this guy down and, you know, ask him?
