Should Army Leaders use more Social Media Monitoring?

I think that being a leader in the Army is akin to being a boss in the civilian sector. Granted, the responsibilities and duties are different but the nature of leadership is the same when you boil it down to its basic elements. Every boss has the responsibility of ensuring that his subordinates are doing the right thing and reflecting well upon their organization. Leaders should be checking up on their Soldiers' social media profiles, but not with the intent to punish but rather the intent to enforce good discipline and ensure force protection. If it turns out that soldiers are not living up to the Army Values, regardless of the medium, they should be dealt with in accordance with unit policy and army Regulations.

No. Leaders should lead lead their troops, not follow them on social media. Give them some privacy. The ones that fall outside of regulations on social media will hang THEMSELVES. A true leader knows how to use their time more wisely. Monitoring will diminish morale. That's the LAST thing you'd want to do.

I look at it the same way a leader should be involved in any other way. Leaders are suppose to check up on their troops. Sometimes that means going out to the clubs they frequent, sometimes it means going to the barracks and sometimes it means checking out their social media profiles.
