So far the Army PR machine has done a good job of establishing our reputation as a disciplined, knowledgeable, educated NCO Corps.
.
Do we really want to ruin that by having them watch us argue over such earth shattering topics like fleece caps and nail polish?
Lets leave the mystery in place shall we?

You really think the US military has a monopoly on "chickenshit"?
Bigger issue is with some OPSEC issues that may slip through the cracks.

I think we should keep it in house. Alot of the discussions may not be understood to foreign nationals in the context we are talking about.

I hate to pile on, but I think it's a bad idea. The definition of "foreign contacts" extends to anyone with whom you have regular contact - including only through social media. It is very clear on the new EQIP. Investigators get very nervous when you cannot answer basic questions about your foreign contacts like DoB, place of birth, current address, etc - especially if they work for their respective governments or have military affiliations or...the real red flag, if they work for foreign intelligence services.
Thanks to MIBOLC, I have foreign contacts that work for foreign intelligence services and was raked over the coals in my periodic re-investigation as to why I still talk to them. I certainly do not need to have more ways to "keep in touch."

I am in the same situation. I cut all my foreign and questionably foreign contacts from all forms of social media. Adding them here would mean losing my only interaction with members of other U.S. military services (other than my neighbors here in base housing).
