The web may still be the wild west in some aspects, but if I were you I would be extremely careful who you quote and how. I would get agreements up front and in writing.
Mostly because some of us also have family members who were in the military - you know, that status you keep trying to "prove". Mine's a retired Ranger who also lawyers for the government. I probably wouldn't bother him about some delusional Christian misquoting me on the net, but I'm also not the only person you've been interacting with who knows people with friends or family who would happily pursue legal action against possible misrepresentation on the web.
