Anarchists grapple with US Marines online--join discourse!!!

In only the last month or so, an anarchist discussion forum has had some notable visitors: portions of the u.s. military community in the form of marines who seem to be able to allow themselves to think. The anarchists at the linked site, though, seem to be needing help from fellow anarchists (and those leaning their way); anyone with an energetic predisposition for words and speaking is highly encouraged to join us!

The link given here (below?) is going straight to one thread where u.s. marines are *working on* taking anarchists by their veritable horns. The most interesting thing about the situation at this point is, apparently, the freedom in which these military professionals (who surely are representative of the cream of the crop of status quo indoctrination confines) have in interacting with anarchists!

This situation reminds me of the early days of CNN's (u.s. TV corporation) online discussion space, back when *all* discussion was uncensored. That quickly changed as soon as articulate challengers sought to grapple, in a sustained, yet informal offensive, with CNN regulars (the decision appeared from on high).

Can the u.s. military similarly gag military individuals from crucial communications with those they are being routinely misinformed about?

Until that happens (or not), please at least stop by and let's get into it!!! All english speakers who enjoy internet discourse are STRONGLY invited to at least stop by!
