Troops With Too Much Connection?

Take a look at this article I read in the N&O the other day. The article speaks to the situation of our troops overseas who may be performing a dangerous mission one moment and sending a text message to a loved one back home the next. Good thing or not? I'm sure we all want these guys and girls to be as connected as they can to their home lives. On the other hand is it a dangerous distraction? You be the judge.
