I'm really not sure. I know the DOD wouldn't want to keep the exercise a secret, because if they tried and it got out anyway, all hell would break loose.

Some people will find some conspiracy or hidden agenda in everything, whether it's a military exercise or something they think they hear when they play a Beatles song backwards. That's just the way they are. And frankly I'm glad they do, because it's always good to question authority.

As I said, I just don't think there's anything to get worked up about this exercise. But I've certainly been wrong before, I may make a mistake again someday, and it always pays to be vigilant.
