...that isn't a genuine military secret; like troop movements, tactical and strategic plans, capabilities and intentions, and technical details of weapons.
Most so-called secrets consist of things the government doesn't want its own people to know. Classifying the fact that the enemy is being bombed during a truce, as we did often in VietNam, is absurd. The enemy knows perfectly well they are being bombed.
The reason no one trusts the government to tell the truth any more is because of the lies LBJ and Nixon told about the war. After the Pentagon Papers were published, the Pentagon lost all credibility.
