Tweeters 'could be military targets'

where's...for a sec there I thought I might have to hide my Infinity speakers!

For the memories

one day your sitting on your computer typing shit on GLP and the "BOOM" JDAM on top of your house if you step out of line.

Sure would have been nice if they would have dropped one on top of you before you it the post botton. Would have help this forum.

Holy shit, GLP could get droned by Obama Phone!

Is text and internet forums covered under freedom of speech?

Never happe

I can see their logic, unfortunately (even though my reaction would be to disagree). It's similar to the argument over whether drone pilots are legitimate targets (that is n open question).



I don't think it's been tested in court, but the theory is yes.

There is no freedom of speech, just what they decide you can get away with.

crikey

During the 2010 Census, they GPS'd everyones house for a reason ......

so could of exposing Hamas Harrys' military ties on this forum been grounds for suicide by drone?

Calm down buddy, I thought is comment was some pretty good dark comedy. Yours was just stupid.

So...ummmm...go fuck yourself.

Tweekers are military targets

doorbert is so screwed

"The Geneva Convention defines legitimate military targets as objects "which by their nature, location, purpose or use make an effective contribution to military action and whose total or partial destruction, capture or neutralisation, in the circumstances ruling at the time, offers a definite military advantage".
The convention protects civilians unless they are taking a direct part in hostilities."

Tweeting or FB is NOT a direct part in the hostilities,
making comments is NOT an effective contribution to military action.

Sheer stupidity.

Think bout it logically, if someone is tweeting military information about an active war/battle, that source of information is a ligit target to be removed to prevent spread of military info.

Yes, hamas harry is a ligit target.

lol i can see it now.

Tweet: they are dropping bombs here, where i live.


targeted for tweeting.

Hit and Helped

You're welcome!

This is currently in force, so opinion is not necessary or wanted, neither is the Geneva Convention. We are beyond this. Take note.

Any individual functioning in a sanctioned or unsanctioned military counter-intelligence operation is, by force of historical and international law, conducting as an enemy combatant.

For example, if an individual is purposefully giving intelligence by broadcasting troop movements to an enemy, they are an enemy combatant. If by carrier pigeon or a tweet, the result is the same for both the troops and the enemy.

You have been warned.

I've never seen anything online that would be worth anything to a large military force. Give me a break......

Then you have nothing to fear.

Fool.

What about military movements posted about on this site?

A lot of people live around USAF bases, or USN ports. If you lived around Whiteman AFB and saw the B2's lifting off in mass, would you come on here to post about it?

dat funny

Before the round up, they'll temporarily hose up sites like this......

TIL they nuke the wrong house (you know they will)
