The U.S. Marines Corps, citing security concerns, has banned Facebook, MySpace and Twitter on its network, and the Pentagon said it is reviewing social-networking sites as it considers setting broader policies on their use.
The Marine ban formalizes an existing block on social-networking sites on its government computers, and it does not affect members’ personal use of the sites.
Representatives from MySpace and Twitter didn’t respond to requests for comment.

I wonder how this effects the marines. It may be their only source of comfort in a world of hurt.
They have to have hooks ups when they return, social sites add in this.
I do see the security concerns, maybe monitor them or have a military.myspace.com domain added to myspace. This way they can communicate to women, but also, be monitored.
Hard to say if this is a Good, or Evil.
