DO NOT POST ANY MILITARY INFORMATION YOU HAVE (Loose Lips Sinks Ships)

DO NOT POST ANY MILITARY INFORMATION YOU HAVE

First, a word from FReeper PhiKapMom:

It is imperative during this time period that no one and I mean no one post any information they have about our military. There have been several postings tonight giving information about bases near where they live -- please do not discuss your local bases on the open forum.

Our men and women of the Armed Forces are in harm's way enough without our telling people what is going on in our areas. Please think before you post. Keep your mouths shut about military activities in your area that are not already in the press.

Thank you much!

God Bless our military, our President, and the United States of America!

---

Please freepers, think before posting anything that could be used by the enemies of this Country. Treat any information you have as classified!

---

And now a word from Jim Robinson:

Lots of grumbling lately about deleted posts. Well, my friends, the simple truth is the game has changed. We are now at war. We have been attacked by a vicious cold-blooded force of international terrorists who want to destroy our nation, our freedom and our way of life. There is no doubt about this. Knowing this, I am alarmed to read some of the stuff that has been posted to FR in the last few days. This is not the time to raise doubts about our leaders. This is not the time to raise conspiracy theories. This is not the time to second guess our intelligence agencies. This is war. This is survival of our way of life. We must unite behind our Commander-in-chief and do all we possibly can to support him and our war efforts. We do not have a choice in this matter. The terrorists who attack us do so without warning and without mercy. They do not want peace. They do not want to co-exist. They do not want appeasement or negotiation. They want to destroy us. They want to destroy our way of life. They want to destroy our freedom. They want to destroy our nation. They have no conscience, no respect for life, no compassion and will give no quarter. Death of the USA is what they seek.

Many of us on Free Republic are veterans or have family members who are veterans or who are currently serving in the military. We have each sworn a solemn oath to defend our Constitution and our nation. We will not waver in the face of adversity and we will not shirk our responsibility or fail to do our duty. Regardless of our political differences, we will join together to support our nation and to crush our common enemy.

All of us can help out. There will be opportunities coming for volunteers for all sorts of wartime activities. There will be opportunities to help our men and women in uniform, our civil defense efforts, our war production efforts, giving blood, buying war bonds, cooperating if there are shortages, supporting our leaders and generally supporting the war effort.

There will also be precautionary measures. First and foremost on this forum and elsewhere is to respect the fact that we deal in political information. Many of us may personally gain access to sensitive information that could harm our military or our war efforts if it falls into the wrong hands. If you live or work in an area where you may learn of troop movements or war plans or if you have family members or friends who may have access to this information, please do not spread it around. We will be on the lookout for any "Loose Lips" info and will delete it when spotted on this forum. Now, information that is already printed in the newspapers may or may not fall into this category. Usually, published information is fair game to post. But, please be careful in what discussions may follow.

Also, as I said above, it is essential for all of us to unite behind our President. Now is not the time to seek political advantage. Now is not the time to raise doubts about our government or our military, and now is not the time to post conspiracy theory or to engage in smear attacks. And, no, my finely feathered, tinfoil-hatted friends, we did not do this to ourselves. The U.S. government did not start this war. We were victims of an unprecedented, pre-meditated surprise attack, perpetrated by hostile, cowardly foreign parties. This attack may not have been in the military scale and scope of a Pearl Harbor, but in terms of lives lost and impact on the nation and the world it is every bit as severe.

Even so, we have confidence. We know that our nation is the strongest in the world and that our people are resolved to do whatever it takes to win. We've done it before and we will do it again. This is our heritage. Securing the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity in the tradition of our forefathers is our duty and obligation. And I have faith that with God's blessings, we will rid the world of this evil threat.

God bless you all and God bless America.

Regards,

Jim Robinson

Yes SIR!

Tell that to CNN, FOX NEWS, MSNBC and others who babble away with the help of retired military generals and officers about what the US will do, what the US has, and where the US is around the world.

Shoot, if every registered FReeper and every Conservative Lurker just sent $1.00 a month to FRee Republic, that would do the trick.

Stalkin' Mo. Hi Cutie!!! I'm going back to bed now.

[Slip18]

Thanks, Spacetrucker. I figured the first word was "Marine," but didn't know the rest.

[teeman8r]

also, the military information being extracted by dan rather and the cbs news in bagdad is extraordinary.

[rs79bm]

This is the only military information I have:

Also the reason Saddam can't sleep at night.

And at the top of the list of secret stuff that shouldn't be let out (but just among us Freepers I can let you in on it) is that when they mothballed the old Poseidon missile boats they ran them up the St. Lawrence and dispersed them throughout the great lakes. There's two (the George Marshall and the Andrew Jackson) hidden under Navy Pier in Chicago. They can actually sortie them (well, tow them out) at any time, and they still have the full complement of missiles ready for launch. (And the reactors keep the ferris wheel and other stuff at Navy pier working whenever ComEd drops power.)

But pssst...don't let anyone know about it!

Well I think this whole loose lips stuff is a crock of nonsense.

No jihadi or North Korean bureaucrat surfs the web. It's too damn difficult for them. I bet no one will capitalize on the TOP SECRET information I am about to release:

The nuclear-powered carrier/battleship USS UNITED STATES just left Philadelphia yesterday morning. The USS USA is a 500,000 deadweight ton vessel capable of acheveiving 65 knots for as much as 48 hours. (That 30+ crap they show in "Janes" is so wrong). This massive warship carries 250 warplanes including 50 B-1 bombers. In addition, the vessel carries 28 inch electro-magnetic rail guns, capable of hurling Ford Expedition sized shells 2500 miles. Finally, the USS USA carries two full Marine Divisions and an entire Army armored corp. (Unfortunately, it will take about 3 weeks for the Army to land all their equipment 9 months to deploy from the beachead. All Army officers and soldiers will have to take and pass the necessary sensitivity training before being allowed to participate in warlike things and stuff). The USS USA carries 6 SEAL teams including the legendary SEAL Team 69.

In case you Jihadi's and "Dear Leader" worshippers can read and surf the web I will give you some Top Secret information to make this whole war thing a little more sporting. The USS USA will be flying the "hotel" flag. (For you jihadi's that's the flag on your cast off second hand Tommy Hilfiger jeans. You NK don't wear jeans, so I can't help you.) This is a super-secret code flag that means "We are going East".

The USS USA is going to make a quick pit stop in Abu Dhabi to pump slops and take on provisions. Please note that the secret password to get onboard is, "Doggie Bag." Oh and when you approach the sentry's say, "Death to America!!!" (Shout it really loud, and in English) and "We will kill you all!" When the sentry points his gun at you don't worry, it's just for show.

That is all, carry on. :)

Should we tell them about the Russian Cosmospheres we bought off the XUSSR after the end of the Cold War? They were documented by Dr. Peter Beter (yes, it rhymes; no, I am not making up that name or what he discussed).

[jjm2111]

Stop it you're showing our most top secret stuff.

[The Drowning Witch]

BUMP

[CharlieWalksOnWater]

I believe I saw the MS. Lewinski escorting the Clinton a while back. It is a rather large battleship. The MS. Rodham was an escort a few years ago.

[AlabamaRebel]

The brat link was funnier then h***.

It missed on though.

You know your a military brat when someone asks you where your from and you say Alpha-Seven-Two

I actually did that once while standing in the chow line.

[AlabamaRebel]

The Seventh likes being surrounded. Thay way tey can kick more butt in all directions.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Oh, sure NOW they do... but I remember long ago... "Please, Mr. Custer... I don't wanna go..." ;0)

[WaterDragon]

I have family on the front lines of this war and am very happy that you are deleting posts that give away military information.
