[quote:Anonymous Coward 28008747:MV8yMDU5MDkyXzM0NjQwMDUyXzhCMTY2MDg2] The government doesn't treat our soldiers, sailors and marines (and national guard) with respect, and I give the government a lot of shit for it. I cannot fire the government but I can say some biting things. And I am protected in doing so. Now Ms. Stone has posted an inappropriate photo that has come to the attention of her boss, and he can fire her because of it. [/quote]

Some people just don't get it about the dangers of social media.
When Cape Cod-based nonprofit worker Lindsey Stone visited Arlington National Cemetery last month, she thought it would be funny to snap a picture of herself pretending to shout and flip off the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier -- next to a sign that read: "Silence and Respect."
It didn't turn out so funny when she posted it on her Facebook page.
First the photo went viral, then another Facebook page called "Fire Lindsey Stone" popped up, racking up more than 15,200+ likes in just a day.
Her haters may get their wish. LIFE, the Cape Cod-based nonprofit where she works helping adults with learning disabilities, on Monday suspended her on unpaid leave "pending the results of an internal investigation.
