Google Earth and Military security?

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

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 live near a military base one map it was blocked but on Google Map you can see the roads and a few buildings...This is the backside of Naval Weapon Station in Goose Creek not the main part. We hear loud booms all the time it shakes the house, I guess testing?

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.
