“The [airmen are] combing through social media and they see some moron standing at this command,” Carlisle said at the speech, which was sponsored by the Air Force Association. “And in some social media, open forum, bragging about command and control capabilities for Da’esh, ISIL, And these guys go ‘ah, we got an in.’<\/p>\n
“So they do some work, long story short, about 22 hours later through that very building, three JDAMS take that entire building out. Through social media. It was a post on social media. Bombs on target in 22 hours.<\/p>\n
“It was incredible work, and incredible airmen doing this sort of thing.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yeah, it was incredible work, so why are we telegraphing to the terrorist group how we’re finding them and destroying them? Yeah, it makes for a really nice story about how airmen are doing their jobs, but, do you think that will work from now on? <\/p>\n
In the early days of the war against terror, intelligence agencies told the media how they looked at things in the background of videos to locate where terrorists were making their little broadcast messages to the world. Immediately, the terrorists learned to hang a sheet behind them to hide the background, so that didn’t work. Do these people think that our country’s enemies don’t have TVs and access to the media?<\/p>\n
General Carlisle, if you find something that works, write about it in your book after the war. We would much rather that you kill these guys in droves than to tell us how you did it. We know that you’re doing everything that you can do, but stop giving away the farm.<\/p>\n
The Air Force Times article that I linked to above begins “OPSEC isn’t the Islamic State group’s strong suit.” Apparently, it’s not ours, either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
