Oh yah - and before I forget - if you don't know what operational security means in the context of military operations, perhaps you're not qualified to opine on this matter. They probably left that chapter out of whatever "theory of democracy" book you borrowed.
FYI, operational security is what is in place to deny the enemy information about your movements, troop dispositions, logistics, objectives, reserves and other components of your military operations, so they they are not able to anticipate and counter you. While it's extremely important during the actual operations, its usefulness to an enemy years later decreases vastly and soon approaches nil. Which is why there is no real reason it needs to be marked "secret".
