Their history has shown a trend toward less and less disclosure over time. Each successive "war" takes longer and longer for things to be declassified.
I've got extremely detailed material in my library published within years of the end of WW1 the sorts of detail I honestly never expect to see again.
The long cold war "taught" them to not trust the public, and the global media environment and the Internet only multiply their concerns.
Even if they have reasons to release... Those are increasingly washed away by their fear. We the public grow to accept "infinite secrecy" inch by inch, it's the Overton Window and sadly it works.
