YouTube and sites like that have no military or defense value. If time is spent on those sites than obviously the mission is not being accomplished. Those sites are not QOL issues. The military has its own guidelines to follow this is not corporate America.

I am in the military, and honestly, firewalling those sites is not an issue for me, you go to work to work, not to sit around and blog all day, do that when you go home, people are expecting everyone to do things to suit them, myspace is a time consuming and bandwith hogging service, and I am in my 20's, but believe that soldiers are there to do a job, they can access those sites suring down time, and anyhow, when deployed, who has time to sit on myspace all day when we have so much work to do, beyond me. People now-a-days are cry babies and need to stop thinking the world revolves around them, now get back to work.

I am glad someone else sees the stupidity of blocking sites for the soldiers to use. You can't win this battle. There are QOL issues you need look at too.

The same edict has blocked our access to govexec.com blogs. I fail to see what a bandwidth hog that would be.
