What? Troops are going to Iran? There's no possible way anyone in the world could have known that if it weren't for this post!
.....
It’s about the specifics, not the generalities.
These are the all of the specifics in the post: Iran and at least 10 months.
Spies rejoicing in the streets over this enormous haul of data.
Name of the guy leads to name of the sister which could lead to name of the ship she’s deploying with making it clear that ship and its entire compliment will be around. Maybe that’s not the guys name, but with opsec like that there’s a solid chance it’s pretty easy to find out.
It doesn’t have to be a lot of information to you for it to be a lot of information to the intelligence wing of some other country.
Oh no. They know the publicly available name of a ship that literally everyone already knows is going there. The slueth that pulled that one out surely deserves a raise.
