There’s always been a strong strain of puritanism in military leadership, perhaps nowhere stronger than in the U.S. Air Force. The latest expression of it is the outright banning of blogs and blogging on USAF computer networks, including USAF-operated internet cafes at bases worldwide.
For years now, the USAF has filtered liberal and progressive web sites while allowing unrestricted access to conservative ones. I’m willing to bet the new ban on blogs is less than universal, and that right wing and Christian evangelical blogs are still available to airmen.
Well, every time the USAF imposes a Be No (“There will be no . . .”), enterprising young kids figure out ways to get around it.
