Of course, if they were really trying to protect their people, they could say that "Previously classified information that has been released to public news organizations and made publicly available may be accessed by military personnel with no repercussions." Do they really want their own personnel to be less informed than the general public? It's not like preventing soldiers from reading the information is going to keep it out of the hands of the "enemy".
Classification authority stems from Presidential Executive Order. The Army (or any other Government component) can not counter that.
That said... I agree; the POTUS should make that change.
More the shame that we haven't elected a slashdotter as President.
