What part of that is "secret"? The Japanese knew about them, they just couldn't understand them. Certainly everybody in this country knew about them for over 60 years.

Secret is a frequently mis-used word by the MSM. Semantically, if it was a secret we wouldn't know about it.

It was a wartime secret. Yes the japanese knew about them, but that didn't help as they had no way of breaking the code.

Even after the Japanese surrender, the program remained classified. The Navajo who were in the program never told anyone until it was declassified in the late 60's. Not even their families had nay idea what they did.

So yea, it was a secret.

So yeah, it was a secret. And a damn good one, too.
