And there is the famous Written order that stopped all units using text to inform soldiers of upcoming training etc. only for a COS to then verbally encourage every unit to do the opposite.
Hell, you open any 2 manuals are they will usually contradict each other somewhere - such as TAM 1 which encourages media interviews and how to conduct them as opposed to DF Press office directives which say the opposite.
By the way, if you read the specific order relating to Bebo etc. sites "Defence Forces Imagery", paragraph 3 contradicts para 2 and para 1 is total rubbish. Even within the order, it oks pictures on Bebo and also bans them. Typical army sense.
