Are our military members now issued cell phones? If not, are they required to own one?
My guess is officers and senior enlisted are given cell phones if they need it for their job. A private phone isn't going to be allowed access to a secure network...
Such as "We are at war, report to your duty station at once" not "everybody remember the raffle tomorrow".
The problem is that vital communication can be lost when the majority of it is pure noise.
