Members of the military get their own video sharing web site: TroopTube

The U.S. Defense Department publicly launched a new video sharing web site designed for U.S. military personnel, their families, and friends.  The new site, called TroopTube, was publicly unveiled yesterday on Veteran's Day, and will serve as the official video sharing site for members of the military.

TroopTube visitors who choose to sign up can identify themselves as members of the Marines, Air Force, Navy, Army, or as a reservist, family member of a military member, or a civilian friend.

Anyone is able to upload videos to the site, but all videos will be screened by censors before being posted.  Pentagon officials will monitor the site to make sure all videos are appropriate, do not violate copyright laws and are not a risk to security.

Only a small handful of videos have been uploaded to the site so far, with the most popular video a message from Central Commander General David Petraeus to soldiers across the world.

The government restricted the use of YouTube and other video sharing web sites by military personnel using Department of Defense computers, especially for soldiers who are deployed overseas.  A leading factor behind the ban was for security reasons and to ensure military internet connections would not be bogged down.

Before the ban, soldiers overseas often used YouTube and social networking web sites to share pictures, videos and information about life, along with sending video messages to loved ones.

TroopTube is powered by Seattle-based startup company Delv Networks, a company specializing in screening, approving and cataloging submitted videos.

This is great- when I served in the '90s we had to wait 2 weeks for a letter from our loved ones, then they had to wait 2 weeks for a response. Giving our troops a method to quickly call home will boost morale and help the strain on families.

Too bad our politicians think America should spend trillions on a global empire.

btw, I think you mean "censor" not "sensor" :)

Technology is great, but I'm not so sure this is a big win for soldiers. The only reason this was created is the security issues that come with soldiers sending media home.

With the military scrutinizing every video, I'm guessing they will either get overwhelmed, or they will reject most videos, which is probably why the most popular currently is that of a speech by a general and not some private making fool of himself in uniform. I sent many photos, and brought back thousands of pictures and hundreds of videos that would probably get rejected on this site, but could hardly be considered to hold any military security risk.

Moreso than just losing YouTube, it's sad that soldiers are restricted from using communication tools like facebook to keep up on what friends and family are doing.

In response to your question about hospitals, schools, and water treatment plants........ do you know how to use google?

Just go spent 30 seconds in google, and type those words, and see what you come up with. Hell, you could even click on the image link after you do the search, and find pictures.

Do you even bother doing a little research, or do you just regurgitate lies you heard on some propaganda website?

Have you been in either of the two war zones? Have you EVER been to Iraq?

Doesn't matter if your from the US or not, u need to shut your mouth before you go off accusing the wrong ppl.

YES, I actually have pictures of the US troops rebuilding your country, which includr hospitals, water treatment facilities, and schools.

We have destroyed those facilites in the war due to the nature of your guerilla tactics. But then again, what would expect for the United States to do when you have groups like the Sadrists and other terrorist cells using those facilities to attack American troops. Then after that, we made those facilities even better, the ones you had were dating back to the 60s era.

Now I know in your little screwed up Lib head, right at this moment, you are saying to yourself " So, that doesn't make it right ! " Well guess what ? Yes, it sure as hell DOES make it justified. The world is MUCH better off with Saddam and everyone like him gone from seats of power, no matter how much bullcrap you think up.

You made it plural, not the OP. One million people.
quote:

The death toll in Iraq is just over a million people according to one major, well-respected source.
http://www.opinion.co.uk/Newsroom_details.aspx?New...
Numbers near or in excess of one million are reported by most major news organizations. Even the most conservative estimates put the death toll at well over 600,000.

What number does it need to be before it is substantial? Can you apply a numerical value to the loss of life, and if so by what metrics does one determine when a number of lost lives become too high and consequently too costly a means to justify the ends? I truly wonder which is more concerning: your ignorance of the degree of death and destruction wrought by the US-led invasion of Iraq despite your clear passion for the subject; or, that your very objection to the death tolls implies that a numerically presentable degree of importance can and should somehow be contrived and analyzed from the loss of human lives.

quote:
You are missing a fundamental difference. The US is a sovereign nation, Iraq was not.
You are missing a fundamental definition if you think Iraq was not a sovereign nation. Sovereignty has next to nothing to do with the form of government a country has or how its leaders came to power. Hussein's regime was the de facto and de jure government in Iraq and was recognized by both the Iraqi people and the rest of the world -- regardless of how well-liked it was or how happy the Iraqi people were. The UN recognized the government, the US recognized the government, and the people were not in open rebellion.

Conversely, the UN is a body with little legal and less actual authority over any country. Failure to recognize UN jurisdiction is common, and violation of UN resolutions is not justification for nearly-unilateral invasion. The United States, and (last time I checked) most nations do not adhere to compulsory ICJ jurisdiction, and many nations, particularly the US, ignore UN jurisdiction in many other areas.

The real irony here is that most proponents of the Iraq war are openly anti-UN and take the position that we should not recognize the UN as having any relevance, never mind authority. Of course I don't know you personally nor your positions on everything, but I don't feel unreasonably presumptuous in assuming you take the same position. I do apologize in advance if I'm incorrect.

Reiterating, the irony of using failure to comply to UN resolutions as justification from people who don't believe in the UN is too bemusing not to bring up. A somewhat off-topic, yet apt comparison is the irony of electing people who believe that government is a problem to important positions in government -- and then being surprised when they do an awful job of governing.

In any case, does the very existence of a despotic government clearly not well-aligned (from our perspective) with the caring governance of its people serve as justification and provocation of invasion? If so, are the numerous other regimes with despots or corrupt, one-party, totalitarian governments also provoking imminent invasion and subsequent liberation? In that case, how does one decide which nation should be liberated? Was there something special about Iraq (answer: Yes; regional importance to US economic interests) that made it extra-suitable for liberation? Finally, is this policy of installing republican governments modeled after our own truly in line with core American values of the Locke-Jeffersonian philosophy that governments -- regardless of how they take form -- are only allowed to obtain, wield, and maintain power by the will of their constituents; that when a government is not longer serving its people, that is not just the right, but the duty of the people to relinquish the government of its power.

In other words: Can we really militarily impose our philosophy of what government is and should be without contradicting the core principals of that very philosophy?

quote:
And likewise, can you show us a picture of one hospital, school, water treatment plant or power station that WE have destroyed in Iraq or " flattened " ??

I will not post links to such pictures, but there are literally tens of thousands. The precursor to the ground invasion of Iraq was tens of thousands of bombs being dropped, mostly on key infrastructure targets -- this does not include schools and hospitals, but it might as well. Such facilities were rendered inoperative for years. In the five years since "shock and awe", many, many "precision" bombings have been made. Many mistakes, however, have been made by military intelligence and by pilots and ground operatives. I won't make the claim that a hospital or school has been targeted accidentally or bombed inadvertently by coalition forces, because I truly don't recall if either specifically has happened. However, many similar civilian buildings were destroyed in the initial bombings and by coalition forces in the following years.

quote:
You idiots act like we just went in with B-52's and carpet bombed the country. Maybe you missed the first Gulf War so I will clue you in. Google the term " surgical strike " please.

The comparisons between Iraq and Vietnam would have been all too apt if that were the case -- however, the first and second Persian Gulf wars are very different in technology and tactics, particularly in the area of air superiority. Google "shock and awe" to learn more. A few cruise missiles and surface-to-air precision bombs that defined the first Iraq war do not compare to the precursor bombing campaign and subsequent air superiority strategies that have dominated the second one.

I will concede that the preclusion of napalm from our arsenal and the lack of carpet-bombing in Iraq do represent a substantial evolution of our tactics since the Vietnam war. However, to go by the fallacy that the last five years of aerial warfare in the Persian Gulf has consisted of mostly near-perfect precision bombing against only militarily significant targets is truly ridiculous. The US-wrought devastation of the Iraqi infrastructure is a testament to this.

On another note -- biting, emotional, poorly-formed ad-hominem attacks on someone with whom you disagree aren't usually effective rhetoric and generally serve more to discredit than anything else.

At the beginning of the invasion I was watching a BBC team riding with a Kurdish convoy when US planes precision bombed them and killed half the Kurdish fighters, while their cars were clearly marked. I didn't know whether to cry or laugh, it was that ridiculous.

the fact that you would consider laughing at something as tragic as that makes you a A-hole.

The munition that was likely used is a mk-82 dumb bomb. These are commonly used in close air support. The term precision bombing just means that they are aiming the bomb at a specific target. That means dumb bombs can be used in precision bombing.

US Special Forces were with that joint convoy and were also the ones to call the airstrike in. There intent was to target an Iraqi tank they thought was targeting them. The convoy included the Peshmerga's tanks.

It's tragic what happened but in no way was it intentional. A US special forces medic did all he could to save the BBC reporters interpreter as well as the others. And it wasn't half. 18KIA 45 wounded. The majority of the wounded had minor shrapnel wounds.

Close Air support is just that, CLOSE being the key word. US Forces usually at least as of this war have IFB's(Infared Beacons) the Kurdish Forces did not. It's believe that the pilot may have mistook the Kurdish Forces as over running the SF convoy.

I pulled my information from the BBC, Janes Defence, and various other sources.

Unlike you I did not pull this info from your butthole. Seriously how much misinformation are you going to defacate onto this forum. Make an arguement by presenting the facts not crapping ou the same mis-informed BS you enjoy ingesting on a regular basis

Saddam killed depending on which resource you look at between 1.2-2.4 million civillians.

The invasion has killed between 89,000 - 300,000 civillians depending on which resource you look at.

Both are estimates and neither can be verified with any accuracy as most sites (various .gov sites and independent sites all have their respective agendas.

The 1 million deaths you allude to was not deaths but casualties..

Casualty does not mean death. Also that number was built on not only verified numbers of military dead/wounded, civillian dead/wounded, and also death due to malnutrition, but also on opinion polls.

Saddam was a serial murdering saddistic bastard, and to try and reduced the implications of what he did or in any way make it seem "not that bad" is complete and utter bullshit.

As far as blowing everything up, the infastructure in IRAQ was already severly deteriorated due to 30 years of neglect. Dropping a bomb on an infastructure that was basically a house of cards has had a devastating effect.

The US alone has spent several billions of dollars rebuilding the schools, repairing the infastructure, etc.

Iraq now enjoys a surplus in oil profits becuase of it. I know you're going to argue that the US was bleeding oil off of them to fund our evil empire, but if that was the case then gas wouldnt have hit over 4$ a gallon this summer and our economy would have been spared somewhat.

At the Neuremberg trials it was established that the excuse of "I was just following orders" was no longer acceptable and that it was the duty of service men and women to refuse to carry out orders that were against their conscience and would constitute in crimes against humanity.

Actually Enlisted Recruits Are More Likely to Come from
Middle- and Upper-Class Neighborhoods.

The 2007 statistics the enlisted in the Armed Forces are
65.5% White
12.82% Black/AA
3.25% Asian/PI
.66% Combo of 2 or more races
1.96% American Indian/Alaskan
2.76% Decline to specify.

More than three-quarters (75.5%) of enlisted recruits come from neighborhoods where the median family income is more than $40,000 per year. Recruits from neighborhoods where the median family incomes are less than $40,000 are underrepresented compared to the total population, while those from higher-earning areas are overrepresented.

It's not even exclusive to soldiers, anyone can upload videos, and anyone can view them. You, me, anyone.

The only difference between YouTube and TroopTube is that one can have videos removed by the Pentagon.

The Pentagon doesn't like freedom and openness, it seems.

It's nothing to do with freedom and openness, it's all about OPSEC. They're simply trying to provide a way for service members to share videos but at the same time reign in the dummies or keep people from showing things they shouldn't.

I've seen videos where people are saying " HI MOM HI DAD!!!" while in the background you can see entry control procedures. Black penning has never stopped.

Operations Security is an ongoing thing. The problem is the internet/e-mail has pretty much made this impossible to control.

I think the intent of the site is genuine but in reality I dont think this will have much of an impact. They should advertise this more though. I'm Active Duty and this article is the first I've seen of it.

Oh yeah, I dont have access to you tube! WTF?!?!?!

Actually, quite wrong. Users on military networks are unable to get to YouTube. Many other sites are also blocked, such as Hotmail, Gmail, etc. It's to stop the waste of bandwith on government networks.

In deployed locations, the only way onto the internet is through the military networks. Kind of hard to get an ISP out to tent city to hookup your DSL/Cable connection.

Also in hostile fire locations, OPSEC is very important. If you give information like you'll be flying out tomorrow at 1600 hours to go home, that's a nice time to head out and bag you a military aircraft filled with returning troops.

How about that video of you and your chums screwing around at work. While it may not seem harmful, in the background it might give enemies a good count of how many tanks, aircrafts, etc are on the base.

That or multiple videos from different troops can be pieced together to form an accurate map of the base's layout.
