Bummer. Our enemies need to find out about it the hard way.

It's been customary, since time immemorial, for the people a "secret weapon" is defending, that they be the last to know.

If you want to know US military secrets, ask the Chinese. They feel no compulsion to hide information about their enemies. They only hide data to protect their sources. They have been stealing our developments for 50 years, when they can't buy it and reverse engineer.

The only enemy that always is surprised by new technology are Muslims. There is the story of the Iranians, shortly after their revolution, finding that an American built car, capsized in an accident, did not have a separate chassis. They promptly accused US auto makers of cheating third world countries. (They hadn't heard of unibody construction.)
