Kudos for you! Its a good thing we want to indanger our sailors and marines...Oh wait... WE DONT!!!! What type of person goes out there are jepordizes thousands of lives just to get his name head? I''ll tell you what kind, a pigheaded, narrowminded, unAmerican. You have shamed all of us who fight to keep secrets a SERCET. Its like you dont even care that what happened to the USS Cole could happen again because of you''re "Breaking News". I hope you are never able to go to bed again with a clear conscience.

Dave Martin - you need to take a few minutes out of your next show and apologize about this news story and the selfish act you committed to make a few bucks...this is outrageous.

FROM YOUR REPORT**The Marines kept the flight secret because they don''t want to draw attention to what is sure to become a trophy target for the enemy. What in the hell do you think a secret means. Not for the whole world to know and anyone who wants this information now has it thanks alot. My husband is on that ship and I hope to GOD his boat returns safe to all us family members waiting. You are willing to get over 2000 sailors killed for how much money? It is not worth it.. my husbands life is worth a hell of alot more than you could have made on this story. I truly hope you dumba** reporters think before you publish any kind of story of this sort again.

I am so ashamed of people like you that twill even consider putting the lives of thousands of sailors and marines in jeopardy just to make your story. There are so many other stories you can write about, why this one. Was it just because it was a secret operation. Do you understand the possible outcome of this publishing. Do you even care that onboard that ship are fathers, sons, mothers, wives, granparents and you are risking all their lives, some fathers that havent even see their children and you are gonna go and risk everything that they are working so hard for, for a little publicity. You are I believe the most hated person at this time by many that have loved ones there. What were you thinking, you should be ashamed, you are a traitor and a rat. I cant believe there are still people in this world like you. Some one with no ethical values. Traitor.

You guys are truely pathetic, not to you idiots-if it''s supposed to be a secret, don''t put my sailor and everybody else that has members on this ship in danger just to get a stupid story-you need to use more common sense, as far as Im concerned you''re nothing but traitors for writing this and I hope you get in serious troubl for it-you''re a pathetic excuse for an American plain and simple and truely pathetic.

This news article needs to be removed. It is in direct violation of OPSEC:


Don''t discuss future destinations or ports of call!

Don''t discuss future operations or missions!

Don''t discuss dates and times of when we will be in port or conducting exercises!

Don''t discuss readiness issues and numbers!

Don''t discuss specific training equipment!

Don''t discuss people''s names and billets in conjunction with operations!

Don''t speculate about future operations!

Don''t spread rumors about operations!

Don''t assume the enemy is not trying to collect information on you so he can kill you, he is!

Be smart, use your head, and always think OPSEC when using email or phone.


My husband is out there, and i want him to come home from this deployment safetly...and by posting this, you are giving information about my husbands safety to the enemy....you are, as the CMC of my husbands ship calls anyone who makes this info available to the public a RAT. This article is putting about 2000 peoples lives in danger...what gives you the right to possibly take 2000 fathers, sons, husbands lives into your hands? What gives YOU the right to have a mommy tell her children daddy isnt coming home.

So the Marines wanted to keep it a secret but you just felt that you HAD to spill the beans to make a buck. Thanks David Martin. Thanks for giving information to the enemy. In the Cold War we called this "being a traitor."

I understand that you all are trying to cover these news stories, but my husband is out on that ship and you all are putting him and all the other sailors and marines at risk by disclosing that information. That is all information that, us, the wives can''t even know. Please think of the military families and those who are serving before you report about where they are and where they are going!!!!! We have enough to fear and worry about each day, to have to deal with this too.

[beachynurse]

Have you ever heard of operational security?? This is a perfect example of why there should not be embedded reporters. Thanks, once again, for putting our Marines and Sailors in additional harms way. Try to remember that they are there defending your freedom and way of life. Not to mention your freedom of speech. At the risk of sounding condescending, shame on you.

Correction:

Return to flight for the Osprey occurred in May of 2002, not 2001.
