Note to Airmen: Don't Facebook Your Location in War Zone
The Air Force has issued a warning on its internal website to troops not to reveal their location through social media tools, such as Facebook.
The Associated Press reported Wednesday that the service is concerned about new features on sites such as Facebook and Foursquare that could show the enemy exactly where U.S. forces are located in war zones.
"Careless use of these services by airmen could have devastating operations security and privacy implications," read the warning, sent to senior commanders, according to AP. Commanders were asked to spread the word to troops.
The Army, which has the majority of the nearly 145,000 troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, intends to issue a similar warning next week.
