Taliban on Facebook

| September 11, 2012

The Danger Zone‘s David Axe warns that the hot little chick you just friended on Facebook might be a goat raping Taliban soldier instead;

“The Taliban have used pictures of attractive women as the front of their Facebook profiles and have befriended soldiers,” the March review warned, according to the Australian Website News.com.au.

Soldiers “did not recognize that people using fake profiles … could capture information and movements,” the review found.

The U.S. Army learned about insurgents’ social media tactics the hard way in 2007, when soldiers in Iraq uploaded photos of Apache gunship helicopters — photos that included embedded GPS data. “The enemy was able to determine the exact location of the helicopters inside the compound and conduct a mortar attack, destroying four of the AH-64 Apaches,” the Army admitted this year.

You mean that 18-year-old beauties who send me friend requests all of the time aren’t really interested in a 57-year-old cripple just for my body and witty repartee?

Ahh yes the internet social media, where the men are men and so are 75% of the women….

I never understood internet chat, well not that they have cameras maybe, I was always worried it was some old guy in his boxers in the basement…

I call BS on this. You can directly see any helicopter from many vantage points around the FOBs that I’ve been on. No need for GPS coordinates… They’re not firing cruise missiles for Christ’s sake. They’re firing MOTORS or ROCKETS that have no directional capability that would employ GPS or any other technologies. They employ “wet thumb in the air” technology.

That’s just my two cents.

Well, I always try to fix any problem instead of looking back and trying to figure out whatthefuck.
Easy fix, set up Face Book pages with pretty donkeys, in Arabic and Farsi to attrack the Taliban…then get them to send pictures of the fucked up weapons and stuff they have etc….

Ah the internet. Where the men are real men, the women are real men, and the children are the FBI.

Personally, why couldn’t we just back-track the IP and do a little body modification? You know, give someone a 7.62mm face piercing?

@4 IP’s are so easily spoofed, masked, and can ring out false positives that I wouldn’t feel too comfortable offing someone based on the IP.
