[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1355132, member: 229"] Oh, well if you say so, then I'm sorry about that. Forgive my ignorance in believing that it doesn't happen a whole lot more and you just didn't know about it since information compartmentalization (a concept that is clearly being missed as Red Herring is now turning into Pot / Kettle) by definition would pretty much mean that you couldn't know about all of the instances where our own folks are being sent into missions unprepared, or decisions are being made at a political level that do damage to our own troops, or incompetence is attributable to more damage to our own troops than say WikiLeaks leaking of data for the whole world to see. That's not a concept that anyone can back with any credibility. The fact is, Wiki-Leaks isn't a good concept (I'd never defend it as completely good), but it is that one wild-wild-west component of the internet that keeps some in our own government accountable (there have actually been several newsworthy investigations launched that have come up with hard facts about how our nation is filled with folks who love dodging accountability behind the curtain of "national security" all the while doing damage to our own. To bury our heads in the sand and ignore that is not acceptable. [/QUOTE]
