 |
|
| It looks like the military has now made the yellow dust website off limits to non-military personal. When you go to the page, it asks you to log on to see the webpage. It's too bad because this was very useful info. |

Huge bummer.
Site was having minor technical problems over the last couple weeks.
I'm hoping it is temporary....But likely not.
Anywhere else you can get up-to-date info? |

probably run by a military connected satellite/weather op
someone could have been hacking it - chinese have been hacking a lot lately - maybe they don't like the yellow dust being blamed on them ? |

I wouldn't say it's better, it's good but it just deals with general pollution.
The Army one was specifically for 'Yellow Sand' which was quite useful...i hope it becomes accessable again. |

One reason (unofficially, of course) is that the site has some tactical usefulness and the rhetoric from the North has been ratcheting up significantly in response to an alleged movement of a MDL marker in the DMZ. Restricting the site has something to do with who has been accessing it..
As to the tactical significance of restricting the site, I really, truly have no idea why they'd want to restrict it. The information, while handy, isn't all that critical for targeting or ops planning. But those squirrels in MI seem to restrict and classify things all the time without any particular rhyme or reason.
That's all unofficial of course. I'm just guessing. I don't really know anything at all about the situation. Certainly have no experience in that area. And the above theories should, in no way, be construed as the official view of the United States or South Korean government. It's simply a fictional account.

I doubt their stats anyway. Do you really think the army would want to tell the soldiers just how filthy the air they work and exercise in really is? |

Yeah. Why would they want their soldiers to be healthy and fit? It's a lot better when they're all suffering from respiratory problems, unable to perform their duties. |
