Are they hinting there's something nefarious?
After the Roosevelt incident military matters are, and should, be handles with stricter security protocol.
That information needs to be CLASSIFIED. It could possibly help our enemies.
(Which of course means the media will want to disseminate this as far and as wide as possible.)
Wow, we have a lot of traitors in this country and half of them are in the media.
Good. It was bad enough that our enemies learned from our own media that one of our capital ships was rendered mission incapable.
These matters should be handled with strict security at all times so enemies don’t know the disposition of our strategic assets.
They should be keeping such information quiet. It has to do with operational readiness. We don’t want our adversaries to know what the impact is on our military. Common sense.
I can understand why they would. You don’t want your enemy knowing you are unprepared. And in the military every day is a dress rehearsal for war.
Good. Loose lips etc...
