> During WWII, we knew how to keep secrets. The public was aware that "Loose lips sink ships," and "The enemy is listening." Even our military victories were kept quiet for a few days before being reported. I first heard of the battle of Leyte Gulf in a newsreel weeks after it was over.

I first heard of the battle of Leyte Gulf on a message forum 50 or 60 years after it was over. It's impressive that we're still that good at keeping military secrets.
