From my own experience after many years of service in our armed forces is “Classification” is a useful tool employed by the Military-Industrial-Complex leaders to hide the mistakes they make from the American public. In many, many cases the details of how they get us into these unnecessary foreign wars are still classified going back to their successful efforts and ploys used to get us into World War One.

You guys are all idiots. No one on this site knows anything about classification…especially the guy with “nearly two decades of military experience in this area.” I think it’s no exaggertation to say that you’ve never had any contact with classified material in your entire life champ. And the Mosquito is most certainly not “…distributed via e-mail to an elite group of military officers and policy planners…” It may however be posted to the SIPRnet, but you’ll never know because you’re an idiot.

It does seem like the Black Bush has every intention of continuing our failed policies and unrealized dreams of hegemony in the region. How far does the economy need to collapse to give up our trillion dollar a year empire? Doing so would not only save precious resources and civilian lives, but provide Americans with greater security.

Exactly. Based on my nearly two decades of military experience in this area, I think it’s no exaggeration to say that the higher the classification applied to something, the more “embarrassing” the contents of the material.

Once something is on the Net, you can’t take it back.

Well so much for the Freedom of Information Act. You are only allowed to know what the Government wants you to know.

The vast majority of what is classified is not classified for any legitimate reasons of national security, but to cover up government misdeeds and incompetence.

The document is not classified. It is unclassified FOUO, but may contain links to classified material on the SIPRNET (the smil.mil addresses). Those links can not work from the ordinary public internet, since the 2 networks are not connected. FOUO means that the information is prohibited from public distribution, but does not have the much more severe restrictions of classified information. When information is classified, every instance of it is supposed to be tracked and accounted for, it must be kept in approved safes when not inuse, and unauthorized possession is a felony.
