People who follow orders, people forced to sign nondisclosure agreements, people who are threatened to keep quiet over classified maneuvers, people given cover stories.
For someone who was in the military, you sure don't know much about how it works.
Believe what you want, I don't really care.
Those in the military swear an oath to obey lawful orders. I doubt any court martial would find an order to cover up a crime as lawful.
I signed a lot of forms agreeing to keep my mouth shut when I was discharged. There is no way in hell a piece of paper would keep me from blowing the lid off a conspiracy like this if I knew my ship just blew a 747 out of the sky. And knowing my buds on the boat, I'd have to race them to be first.
Good luck trying to threaten guys in their early 20's with no family, a panache for drinking heavily, an extreme sense of right and wrong, and signed up willing to die for their country.

Actually, you kind of do. You responded to me did you not?
