The U.S. Army wants you - to be its friend on Facebook.
You can also follow the Army on Twitter. Or post a comment on its new blog. They're all part of the Army's new mission: social networking.

"If Ashton Kutcher can do it, the U.S. Army can do it," said Lindy Kyzer, who posts the Army's "status updates" on Facebook and "tweets" on Twitter.

- Even Gen. Ray Odierno, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, is on Facebook. With nearly 5,000 "friends," the four-star general is updating his status straight from the battlefield - something unheard of in past conflicts.
  
  Gen. Michael Oates, commander of the 10th Mountain Division based at Fort Drum, N.Y., has been blogging from Iraq for months.
- The Facebook and Twitter messages are really an extension of the press releases and stories that Army officials put out through the Division of Public Affairs. But it's also a place for soldiers and their families to connect.
  - Correct...at least on the first part anyway. I'm seeing a lot of re-broadcasting of public affairs materials. Some services are better than others in this regard--i.e. more engagement, less re-broadcast. - on 2009-04-27

- The Army's not alone. The Air Force is on Twitter and the Coast Guard is on Facebook.
  - The Coast Guard is also on Twitter, and they are one of the worst re-broadcast offenders. - on 2009-04-27
