This seems to be a weak attempt at hacking. Why just the Army Facebook page? Why just have a dialog box pop up and say stuff? This is below amateur hour stuff.

It's not the army Facebook page. It's army.mil, which as far as I know is a hub for soldiers. Propaganda is what it is, directly to the soldiers. The sad part is that the words are true. The message is not.

Ah, it looked like Facebook to me at the time for some reason. Still though, those who frequent the hub are likely to be the last people to buy into any message from the Syrians (assuming this was actually them), much less messages that disparage the US government (which is conflated with the US in general a depressing amount). If anything this will just gather disdain for Syria, a country that has had our disdain for a while.

I smell something fishy here...
