While what you say is true, 500, the Bush/Rummy "can't keep my mouth shut since I have to tell everyone how clever we are" team drove me to distraction with their weekly OPSEC violations while first 1, then 2, major armed conflicts were underway under their auspices.
I was reading stuff in the open press, at one point, that I was operating on which was classified with at least an S ... and some $^#%@$%!(*#$% had invited a reporter into (location X) and done a
PR puff piece.
Don't get me started ... hmmm, seems I have already started ... Washington DC, since about the day W. J. Clinton was elected, has been "I have no idea what OPSEC is" personified. It is not confined to the current crowd.
