Maybe now that he has visited USASOC, we will be able to get a free Facebook page.

I seriously doubt he's pro-SF. He likes to rub belly buttons with Chinese leadership, they murder by the millions, torture, kidnap, oppress.... we all know who the communist Chinese are.....
I'd like to think Special Forces was the anti-communist Chinese answer.
Sorry, I'd never allow the fakebook CEO to have dinner at my house.

Yep!

He's probably meeting with him to plant the seeds for a post-army job.

I'm at a loss.
I stopped receiving google Special Forces alerts because of this "image".
Good luck in the Army Special Operations, you're going to need it.

I would like to think they are trying to co-opt them but after the last few years I am not sure.

True the issue with social media and SOF is we can't stop our own from bragging and seeking fame...hell just look at linkedin there are more attention seeking profile pictures from SOF than anyone higher ranking SOF at that. I told my wife it was a job networking site she looked at it and saw exactly what it is or has become regardless of its intent. The question is why aren't the non liberals in America producing uber successful talent that creates sites like Facebook?? Why can't be be as devious as the other side??....morals?
Zuckerberg is a classic modern super wealthy elite whom after making billions has now denounced the wealthy and successful now that they got theirs and have become allegedly philanthropist.....the stipulation to this as long as they stay the wealthy elite and the liberals are the only ones who like the Bolsheviks want to keep the rest of us under their level.

For most of the past 25 years i have made my living in the IT industry. It has borne out an observation made by Ross Perot - "People will write things in an email they would never say to your face."
The lack of personal contact does release inhibitions for a seemingly overwhelming number of people. That makes Facebook a real trove of personnel intel gathering capability. A number of people live their lives on social media without much of a filter on actions and thoughts.
It is a gold mine for information operations opportunities - for and against us.
Having said that, there is still nothing that compares to the ability to put a bullet in the head of an opponent.
Bonus points for being able to post the life changing event to your opponent on Facebook.

You're so behind the times - the "cool" thing now is streaming it live.

That train left the station decades ago. All I see is a general that wants a job after retirement..........
Fakebook, CNN, NY Times, Google, MSNBC, nothing but the propaganda arm of the Democratic National (socialist) Committee.

Full article from the BBC summary Flagg posted. Worth the read.

The Human Fabric of the Facebook Pyramid
In this article, we will try to map some elements of Facebook’s human fabric, the social structure and the power relations within the company.
We will investigate and reflect upon the phenomenon of Facebook in terms of the social networks of its employees. We will also consider the social relations between the members of Facebook’s management board and other spheres of society. This article is a contribution to the contemporary critique of the strong ties between political establishments and global business, i.e. that of the issue of the revolving door.[2] In short, we will deal with the phenomenon of digital capitalism.
