Specifically talking about US Army WTF moments, when people post things to their page just for a laugh.
Do you think it compromises the Army Values?

In my opinion it would depend on what is posted, the WTF page shows the insanity that we must sometimes deal with on a daily basis. If anything our troops enjoy a good laugh. Before the internet you had to see these insane ideas and examples in cartoons like Pvt Murphy etc. As long as regulations are not violated as in OPSEC etc I see no problems with it. A happy troop is a bitching troop. Covering things up and pretending they don't happen is a recipe for a very bad ending.

I guess it would depend on what paperwork or photos? Most stuff is unclassified and can be found through simple google searches. Beyond that, anything FOUO or classified, should not.

Even at an unclassified level I would argue that the world doesn't need to know.
I.e if a unit only has half their gun trucks operational because the mechanics messed something up. Is that something the general population needs to know.

Its not freedom, it's free-dumb. Also keep in mind that we're typing on computers made in China with Chinese parts. And of course the US government has checked the chips for any trojan software...(wink wink)
