There’s just nothing dumb about this, cause anything digital can be hacked or monitored.
>>In a future conflict with a tech-savvy opponent, the U.S. military could discover even its most advanced, secure communications penetrated by the enemy.

Not if using one-time pads ... BUT you have to share the ‘pad’ with those with whom you are messaging.
The bean bag technique would bypass your John Walker types that are ‘compromised’ too, because, they are sharing the code book with the enemy.

“Attack...repeat...Attack”.
They’re kidding, right?
