It is all need to know, and just because you have a secret clearance does not mean you can look at secret info. Take my AFSC, for instance. The only secret thing we actually worked with was a hard drive that had some programming that was classified secret. That was literally the only thing we had a need to know daily and the only reason any of us had a clearance. The only time the clearance came in handy where we got to see anything actually interesting was when our commander held a few briefings that we were invited to set in, and even that stuff wasn't that big of a deal but even he had to get authorization from higher up to expand the "need to know". My point is that while there are people in the military who are involved in really interesting and important classified stuff every day, they are not that common, and even they have need to know limits. In fact the only people I actually met who worked with alot of classified stuff worked on the stealth aircraft and they were exposed to a ton of secret or top secret stuff because almost everything on the plane was classified, but they certainly were not being briefed on spy operations or new weapons systems for carriers or the President's schedule.
I did meet one guy who was briefed an a classified event and told after that fact this is what he saw/didn't see, and that is only because they were doing some testing at night and security had cleared off that section of the base, but had somehow missed his shop. They all stepped out for a smoke break and saw whatever it was, and in about 5 minutes their building was locked down and they had some brass telling them to sign these papers saying they wouldn't talk about what they saw. He didn't discuss the actual classified stuff with me, but we were discussing this very subject and I thought it was interesting. The only reason he was told after the fact what he didn't see was because security fucked up and didn't make sure all the buildings were clear in the area. I am sure someone got an ass chewing over that one.I don't like Republicans, but I really FUCKING hate Democrats.

I don't really care if he did it or not, but I've worked in/for the Government most of my adult life and I know that if a legitimate official came to me and said I didn't see shit then I didn't see shit. Simple as that. When I got out of the AF I was told that I didn't see shit. When I was at my last job I was told that I didn't see shit. At my current job I am told that I didn't see shit...so guess what?

Granted some of them are pretty interesting and you can learn a lot of useful job skills for later, but most are not that exciting. Fighter pilots and spec ops might be an exception to the rule. At least the fighter pilots act like it is.

The “American Sniper” lawsuit between Jesse “The Body” Ventura and the estate of late Navy SEAL Chris Kyle is finally over.
The former governor of Minnesota says he can “smile again” after reaching a settlement in his protracted legal battle with Chris Kyle’s estate. A judge awarded Mr. Ventura $1.8 million in 2014 for a defamation case stemming from a chapter in the Navy SEAL’s book — “American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper In U.S. Military History” — but the ruling was overturned by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2016.
“I offered the ‘American Liar’ Chris Kyle the opportunity to show honor and courage, and he didn’t have it,” Mr. Ventura told reporters on Monday. “I can smile again. The settlement is confidential, but I can smile.”
The former governor’s case revolved around a chapter in Mr. Kyle’s book called “Punching Out Scruff Face.” The sniper claimed that he was in a bar fight with a famous conspiracy theorist who said the SEALs “deserved to lose a few.”
Mr. Ventura took heat from veterans — including war hero and author Marcus Luttrell — for pursuing his lawsuit after Mr. Kyle was murdered on Feb. 2, 2013, on a Texas gun range along with fellow veteran Chad Littlefield.
Settlement money that Mr. Ventura received did not come from widow Taya Kyle or the deceased veteran’s estate, Fox News reported Tuesday.
It was not disclosed whether the cash came from publisher Harper Collins or its insurance company.

Originally posted by KBScobravert View PostWell that and I found that the military classifies virtually everything SECRET because they put CONFIDENTIAL and just plain silly shit on their high side. It gets passed around and now Joe Private says that the ingredients to Chili-mac is TS and he will have to slit your throat if you spill the beans...pun intended.

Essentially, I'm reinforcing what you're saying. Hell, to this day I'll never understand why our government claimed no WMDs when it was clear there were biological and chemical weapons. Maybe nukes only fit the definition they were going for? There was a time there were SOME news articles about it, but none out of the MSM. So it was out there, just most did not see it or look for it. I only know because I googled before talking on the Inet about it.Originally posted by MR EDDU defend him who use's racial slurs like hes drinking water.
