Most of the commenters here are pretty well grown up, and I&#8217;ve only had to delete a few outwardly sexist or racist comments, none by any of the regulars, just some passerbys. But we&#8217;re mostly older folks and pretty much police the place by the force of our opinions.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it&#8217;s dicked up that the thought police are trolling the internet looking for trouble. It looks like it&#8217;s the result of some Congresswoman&#8217;s (Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif.) complaints and of course since those of us in the military are held to higher standard than the rest of the population, it is what it is. We&#8217;re a bigger threat to the nation than those ass-monkey teenagers driving around Speier&#8217;s district shooting each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a cautionary tale from USAToday for active duty military people who use social media; &hellip; <a title=\"Marines investigated for Facebook posts\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=35857\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Marines investigated for Facebook posts<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-military-issues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35857\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=35857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=35857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
