It is not irrelevant if the most up to date AF regulation permits some personal use of the government resource. ****** Agreed: it's quite relevant to see what the current AF regulation is. It would also make sense to determine whether that branch of service provides recreational computer labs. If it does then it's probably safe to assume the editor was using one unless specific evidence indicates otherwise. Edit time stamps aren't necessarily indicative because military working hours can be variable.
The editor who made these allegations cited an outdated version of an Army regulation, misidentified it as UCMJ, and supposed that a member of the Air Force was in violation. I really think the obligation rested with that editor to research the matter better before making statements that worried the rest of us.
