according to this article, the above was a slogan used in world war II to prevent soldiers and US army officials from spilling the beans about whatever it was that they were getting up to.
and we all know they were getting up to no good at all..
recent news is that they are buckling down on current US troops' blogging and e-mail habits, with the newest restriction being that superiors must review all outgoing e-mails and new blog posts before they get sent and published. and its not only for the soldiers, but this also applies to their families, as well as everyone working for the military.
its sad, really. the need to voice the human experience, especially in times of war, is so important. perhaps not to the world through a blog, but monitoring e-mails in my opinion is a breach not only of the right of freedom of speech, but of personal communication.
