Surely there are better means of achieving the goal of people not going to non-duty related web sites? Wouldn't it be better to just treat people like adults, rather than naughty children, and just hold them responsible for what they do rather than telling them what they may do and having everything else cleared by others? This theme of infantalization of military personnel has come up before, and I suspect it is applicable here as well.
