At least it didn't involve nukes.

I find it very hard to believe he didn't realise what he was doing. Not even squaddies are that thick.

I'm not sure what's more disturbing. That a soldier would do something like this, or that by implication the level of military intelligence gathering is to look at soldier's facebook pages. 'Cause yes, there's a major problem with intelligence officers friending people on facebook to gather their important information like Farmville updates. [Roll Eyes] [Razz]

I don't think that the intelligence people were looking at Facebook. The article says the incident was reported by fellow soldiers. Probably a Facebook friend who saw what the idiot posted.
