Maybe this test was aimed at sending a message to America's enemies in the White House, instead of America's enemies in the rest of the world...

This news would definitely bring political pressure on the White House not to cut the program, so maybe that's part of it.

I wonder at what level the release of information like this has to be approved?

Hopefully the military is not like the dems/bigmedia, so it would be more a case of disapproving it, rather than approving it.
