This assumes that the patsy needs to never discover that his device was compromised. I'm guessing there are a few scenarios where they could be tortured / blackmailed into compliance, even if it meant that the DoD would know about it in a day or two, and it would still be worth it. E.g., shortly before a real fight over Taiwan began. I really, really hope Hegseth gets his OPSEC act together, yesterday.
