The Military Afraid Of Its Own?

Two related stories about the military being concerned about the seemingly harmless actions of its members and/or veterans...

First, a sign next door to a recruiting center causes controversy:
A Veteran's Iraq Message Upsets Army Recruiters

As those thinking of becoming soldiers arrive on the slushy doorstep of the Army recruiting station here, they cannot miss the message posted in bold black letters on the storefront right next door.

"Remember the Fallen Heroes," the sign reads, and then it ticks off numbers - the number of American troops killed in Iraq, the number wounded, the number of days gone by since this war began.

The sign, put up by a former soldier, has stirred intense, though always polite, debate...

The sign seen here-

Definitely a buzzkill when you're trying to convince some high-schooler why he should become an army of one.

Second:
US military finds soldiers' blogs too close for comfort

In a development that is worrying US military commanders in Iraq, a growing number of US soldiers - 200 at the last count - have set up their own blogs, or internet diaries, and are updating them from the battlefield...

...It is a phenomenon that has inevitably raised concern among commanders. In April the US military published its first policy memorandum on websites maintained by soldiers, requiring them to have official approval before starting internet postings.

Afraid the soldier bloggers will reveal classified details like Geraldo did?
