USAF Issues Rules of Engagement for Blogs

Here's an interesting article in Wired, about how the US Air Force has issued guidelines for its personnel when participating in debates in the blogosphere. The evolving infowar tactics and strategies seem better suited for ordinary citizenry to take up the fight rather than military servicemen, if you ask me. It sounds like 21st-century society wants to outsource or delegate even patriotism itself to specialized personnel, to leave the carefree masses unencumbered by such menial chores. In which case, why don't they just hire some Indian backoffice centres to post blog responses all day? I'm sure they'd be much cheaper.
