What would enemy spies get out of that.

Even prima fascie top military secrets like battle plans (those must be updated and shuffled regularly to prevent a situation exactly like that) have very little immediate usefulness.

It's 21st century, it's beyond anybody's ability to hide things like size, dislocation, and basic capabilities of your force




Just wondering, small thing; did you mean to type "disposition" instead of "dislocation"?


No, I mean dislocation, as in military dislocation.

Oh you think the generals readily involve old Pelosi with the battle plans? I sort of doubt they would trust her with anything digital that’s supposed to be a secret.


Pelosi just had a confidential conversation with the general in charge of US nuclear codes.


I think the same, and I very much doubt US general staff being inept to a point of holding war plans on a computer.

Intel reports? Again, most real deal intel sources would be either kept real deal secret, or really not being such.
