We let enemies know details of our nukes and other capabilities to prevent war. Someone won't start a war against us when it is clear they will lose. Wars only happen when both sides think they can win because one or other side is hiding some advantage.
For this reason, I think we shouldn't be secretive with which of our people are employed by the military, and which divisions they're in or what training.
All of that is info an enemy needs to know our capabilities.
- halJordan 3y agoPhew, that was a roller coaster for being so short. Unfortunately human beings have human rights, and American citizens have constitutionality-protected human rights. So no, right off the bat. The Chinese don't need to know the details being sold by these data brokers. The info you seem to want public is already largely public.
- londons_explore 3y agoPlenty of jobs require your name be published. Imagine the US president deciding he doesn't want anyone to know his name/gender/photo!
