Facebook or any news associated on a given day would never cease to ridicule you. There have been many reports that have been categorized as bizarre all the way to funny and today we hear that certain activity on the social network had Israel rolling back its strike. Apparently Israel was planning to launch an attack on a small West Bank village, but thank to a soldier it never happened as he shared certain details online. Thanks soldier you did save some precious innocent lives!
Let me connect this to the news yesterday when the US Department of Defense pulled off its ban on letting Marines use the social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. Didn’t I say that this would very well fall back in the ban mode and this is exactly why I thought so. The soldier was carried away with the rush of blood and enthusiasm about sharing the clean sweep of the village, sharing the time and exact location. Of course that was just a silly mistake on his part but it cost him dearly as he was court martialed and put in prison for ten days, I feel sorry for him but to be honest he did a job. Why? Well I can bet that the forces would have killed a countless innocent people just to get rid of a few bad folks.
Other than that, he will get a lot of curses from his fellow soldiers who might very well be banned from using social networking sites like Facebook. Especially when they are on duty.
