The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey is concerned about the next generation of military recruit being endangered by bad or illegal behavior online. He told reporters in his own words, “I worry a bit about … the young men and women who are now in their teens, who probably underestimate the impact of their persona in social media”.
