I don't know if all DOD (Department of Defense) is doing this or not, but the Air Force Base that I work at (I am retired Air Force now working for a defense contractor maintaining aircraft simulators) has put a block on a wide range of web sites that are not determined to be mission-related. This includes pretty much all gun-related sites - including this forum - and mutual fund sites like American Century Funds. The story is that they are trying to make the system more secure and to reduce use of band width that is impacting mission use. Sounds like a bit too much surfing is going on. THis may be what is going on in Iraq, too - they need the band width for mission use, not surfing? Just a thought. And, yes, by the way, they deserve every dime and more!
