^^ Works the other way around too. Many women have fallen for guys impersonating service members that have passed away.

Plentyoffish is being sued for some guy impersonating a dead soldier. Happened before with a Army Ranger who was killed.

Ironically there probably wasn't a single case in WW2 where spies actually contributed to operational intel.
So this never happened.

It comes to a point where officers should be outright banned from having profiles on social networks. BTW, that was an unbelievable amateur and stupid behavior on behalf of those officers.

Sorry but posters don't lie, especially ones with colour and bold text.

"I'm NATO Supreme Commander....LMS B!tches!"........really? The officers that friended him should of known better. Better yet, the contact info on the officers' FB pages should not have any value close to being sensitive such as their work email and phone number. If so, they should be sacked.

Its scary how many (important) people don't understand the goddamn internet.

Its scary how on this day and age many people don't understand the goddamn internet.

The thought that a Soldier would fall for a girl that is being impersonated by a Asian teenager disturbs me greatly.

Its a trick as old as the internet, we used to do that in the 80's before there were graphical browsers and even power users fell for it all the time. Five or more people collaborated to create girl and stay on character just for fun sake. With a group behind one character its very easy to be consistent and remeber every detail of the victims. Now with graphical browsers is even easier and victims are as short on malice as they were in the 80's.

The internet was 30 years old when Al Gore found out about it.

There were also windowed chat, GOPHER, file servers and USENET. The masses found out about the internet thanks to the National Center for Supercomputing Applications Mosaic which "opened up the Web to the general public".
