I always try to bring it back something they can relate to.
You know how when you go to some small mom and pop shop, and they charge you a small % to use a credit card, or give you a discount for using cash? Its the same principle. The credit card companies charge them a fee, and they dont want to (or cant afford to pay it), so they make you pay it. Tarrifs are the same. Either you pay the fee via surcharge, or your cost of the product went up to pay the fee
While i know nothing about military intelligence Security Classification Guides,i know a thing about some others. The general idea is, even at a Confidential Classification, release of the information/data could reasonable cause damage to the USA/national security/etc. The different levels of classification (confidential, secret, top secret) only vary based on the severity of the damage cause to the united states.
Everything in me tells me this operation was classified and we’re lucky that it only leaked to 1 person in the US while it was still time sensitive. Also, these things dont immediately unclassify as soon as their done. They security guide holds them classified for a certain period of time after the event. So dont be surprised when they come after the Editor for leaking classified information
Unlike that missile in Yemen! Amirite?
^Too ^soon?
He wants everyone to know that he did it
