I wouldn't be able to tell you what would have happened if the troops weren't there.

Some places I get. Other places, though ... as much as folks might enjoy assignments to Germany or England, we need to concede at some point that the Cold War is over. Stateside, too, the redundancy is ridiculous -- in Colorado alone, you have three Air Force Bases (Peterson, Schriever and Buckley) that could conceivably be melded into one larger installation.

So, in the future, terrorists will sacrifice considerable amounts of operational secrecy because they are wannabe-mediagenic attention whores?

On the other hand, maybe they'll accidentally reveal just how much the blue force can reveal about its tactics without sacrificing operational security. It also sets up a natural contrast, so long as the "good guys" don't execute people, etc.

You have two choices, keep playing the NSA boogeyman card whilst everyone else robs you blind, or get your act together and start doing what you should have been doing to begin with. Blaming the worlds computer security problems on the NSA is a bit like blaming Top Gear for death of old Morris Marina's.

If you're not welcome on the premises, it's still trespassing, whether the door is locked or not.
