Because:

1) We don’t want the bad guys to know what our stuff can do.

2) We don’t want the bad guys to know that we know what their stuff can do or what they’re planning to do with it.

3) We don’t want the bad guys to know how we found out what their stuff can do and what they’re planning to do with it..

4) We don’t want the bad guys to know what we’re planning to do about their stuff and their plans.

That’s a secret by itself.

“Why do we have so much secret stuff anyway?”

Well, originally it was to keep it secret from the Germans. And then we had to keep it secret from the Soviets. And then we had to keep it secret from the terrorists.

Nowadays we mainly have to keep it secret from the citizens, though the government won’t admit that.

They told us in the USAF it was to keep it away from Congress.

I decided I should give you a real answer.

It is to keep our Citizens from being killed in a plethora of ways.   You should be able to work it out from there.
