How friggin childish are they at all? If they had two brains, they would still be half-wits.
Why does the military command even have a friggin' Twitter account? Pointless.
That was what I was wondering. Have a lil class for pity's sake. Be a little standoffish.

"The official Twitter account for U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, appeared to have been hacked by supporters of the Islamic State militants (also known as ISIS or ISIL) when, starting at around 12:30 p.m. EST, CENTCOM’s Twitter profile picture and cover photo were changed to a black background displaying the words “CyberCaliphate” and “i love you isis” in white letters."
Sorry - I really should not laugh (being ex-military and all that) but you gotta give 'em credit for having a sense of humour!

Like the people above have said - why? Why do they 'tweet' in the first place - it seems so asinine. Hopefully whoever hacked into it is someone innocuous - like some nerdy computer geeks who have nothing better to do!
U.S. Cent. Com.'s on-line social sites have been attacked;
Both their YouTube Channel and their Twitter feed were hacked.
Postings made by something called the Cyber Caliphate:
Threats and a recruitment ad for the Islamic State.
It's a war of words in which we find ourselves engaged;
Battles in the chat rooms on the U.S. being waged.
'though we clearly lost this one, the war ain't over yet...
But we need to strengthen our defenses on the net.
Sony and Home Depot and at least a dozen more
Companies whose customers must track their credit score
After hackers stole their data... Happens every day
To the folks who've dared to use a credit card to pay.
We could all be victims of this type of cyber crime
But that's not what ISIL's hackers did to us this time...
We were cyber-bullied; had our noses rubbed in dirt.
Meanwhile, ISIL's getting more than just their feelings hurt.
Both their YouTube Channel and their Twitter feed were hacked.
