Google Earth and Military security?


TANTRIC-NINJA

Recommended Posts

No article here but I remember having a conversation with a co worker who was an officer at FT Bragg.

I know we have a lot of soliders and Huddlers who serve in the Military.

Anyone who lives next to a military base knows that road maps usually have the base itself blanked out only showing the outer borders of the property save for major roadways.

He was a guy who knew where the Delta Force facility was at in Fayettenam but it is never put on a map for obvious reasons.

While he was on Google Earth he just did a couple of Spit takes bc there it was...accessible to anyone.

So my question is do you think there is a reasonable amount of Censorship that should exist in programs such as Google Earth?

Or it the ability to find something like that that was once supposed to be a classified operation part of our freedom and informational rights?

I believe its located near Range 3. It's been published for years I read that in a book in high school in the 90's. What could anyone do with that information? Break into the center holding some of the best and most dangerous men and women (Yes, Delta has a platoon of women) in the Army?

 

We all know that satellite imagery of lets say the air defenses on top of the White House have always been blurred.

I used to use Google earth with MGRS to do map recons and look for possible medevac areas... had the grid coordinates already planned out.

The installation I was at in Germany was always blocked out. But I could head over to youtube and there would be videos that were basically a tour through that very installation.

When I first used Google Earth, the first place I checked (after my house) was the " Harvey Point CIA base" in NC. You could zoom in all around it, but the base and nearby areas were still low res shots. If Osama could have used Google Earth he might have seen his own compound layout according to some reports I've read.

if you can see it from a plane, I think you ought to be able to see it on google maps.

 

I would hope that the military would be smart enough not to put anything terribly secret where it's visible from a plane.

 

IE "alienz were here" on an area 51 hangar roof.

The CIA facility has a 25 mile "no fly zone" radius. I bet the other bases do as well.

    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
    • Wouldn’t mind Tyson. Definitely prefer him to Sadiq.
