As I said earlier - I think that they way you tried to align the two issues devalues your critical point about OPSEC breaches endangering lives.

If your point is about increased politicisation of the military - then a better rant would be to condemn all of the stage-managed photo opportunities which the Chief Execs (POTUS / CinC in your corner of the world & the PM over this side of the Atlantic) are portrayed with a host of service personnel being used to "demonstrate the Leader's commitment to the military and to Truth, Justice and the Western Way).

Wearing the military as a 'badge' of virility for their own political ends and personal benefits devalues us all, particularly when the Covenant is something quickly swept under the carpet as necessity bites.

Think more like a Scout-Sniper when you make the point.
