UK Intelligence Not Happy With US Officials' 'Unprofessional' Leaks About Manchester Suicide...

MSG Mark Million (Nice name by the way) While I was not privy to specifics, nor read in, I remember rumors about possible consequences of someone leaking back in the day, and they did not include jail or prison, just a condolence letter to your family after the fact with the usual "training accident" fluff and nothing more ever said about it. I also remember many being armed at all times on or off duty, and one of (if not THE) hardest posts to get on in the area.

CPT Jack Durish, LOL small wonder then when that power point last year or so had Mrs Clinton shown on a list of people who could not be trusted. That said, I think most of us here who have ever worked even CLOSE with the Intel community know that Congress is one place we can guarantee a secret will not stay secret with one or 2 exceptions, But within the community WE are supposed to be more responsible, because we are supposed to know that lives are on the line every day. Lives of our fellow Americans and Allies, who are out there risking it all to make sure the decision makers have the best info possible to make the decisions with. I remember my first unit, a LRSC team, they told us right off that if we go on a mission your files get pulled and secured, if you were caught, the Govt would disavow knowledge of your existence, but our job was to go out anyway because otherwise our forces would not know where they (Russians and the rest of the Warsaw Bloc) actually were. The ONLY people who knew who was where was the CO, Top, and the S2, and even they only had a 4 digit grid at best. But that was possible because we were trained, the NCO's to a very good level and had proven themselves to run around on their own recognizance to gather the info they were sent for as well as anything they may think pertinent or of interest. And then to extract themselves (and their team) quietly so no one even knew they were there.
