We've Always Been At War With Eastasia
Well, now that I've gotten all the funny and inconsequential stuff out of the way, time for the angry making.
Daniel Goetz is a soldier currently serving in Iraq, seven months after he was supposed to have been released from service. During his time, he maintained a blog called All The King's Horses. One of his posts made it to Operation Truth... and then the Pentagon stepped in.
Well, not explicitly. But. Compare (pre-OT) and contrast (post-OT). From "God, save America" to "I am officially a supporter of the administration and of her policies."
So, basically, his blog has been reprogrammed, despite the fact that he had a good grasp of what was in the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and made strong attempts to adhere to it. We're fighting for what, exactly?
