CENSORSHIP!

While we were at war there was censorship. Letters that revealed whereabouts of the person in the service were censored.

Motto's were placed in prominent places such as--"LOOSE TALK COSTS LIVES" and "A SLIP OF THE LIP MAY SINK A SHIP".

This censorship was put into place so the country was safe and the enemies that wanted to destroy us didn't get vital information that they could use against us.

I have listened to criticism of the FBI listening in on the telephone conversations of known terrorists and think about our censorship back then. DON'T THEY KNOW THEY ARE TRYING TO KEEP OUR COUNTRY SAFE FROM ANOTHER 911? The protesters doesn't realize we are in a WAR, and we need to protect and support our troops, and citizens!!!!

Many a letter arrived to the destination with many holes cut out because they revealed too much information. If the letter fell in the wrong hands, it could be used to defeat us.
Many a letter was sent with cutout words and phrases were missing. Each letter was looked at so that our country could win the war and enemies could not get information due to some careless person revealing pertinent data.

Wisdom-Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in. Once said, it can not be gathered back up so easily.
