Marine Takes Selfie During Training, Effectively “Killing” His Team

Selfies do not belong in the military.

That’s the lesson learned by a young Marine during a training exercise.Lt. Gen. Lori Reynolds laid out the incident to the press: "A Marine in that exercise took a selfie of him being bored," she said. "It showed in that selfie it was an artillery unit. You could go geo-locate him, and you could see what unit it was. They were like, 'OK, you guys are dead.'"

The lesson was learned by the Pentagon as well. That’s why, last week, the Army barred about 100 paratroopers with the 82nd Airborne Division out of North Carolina from deploying with cellphones and other personal electronic devices. They were sent to the Middle East as tensions there mount.
