Sending official military communication over a non secure email system with 20 recipients with neither the proper security clearance or the need to know is a major lapse of judgement. Merely using a Flash Drive to store non classified documents is a punishable offense.

2) Needlessly worrying family members about their loved ones deployed, again a major lapse of judgement.

I am sorry this thread has become political. But those of us currently serving understand the bigger picture and the implications of decisions made.

I can assure you there are ways of getting things done outside of the normal chain of command WITHOUT exposing vulnerabilities or needlessly worrying families.
Please explain this to Admiral Mullen. He disagrees with you. I believe he has served. And his opinion is 180 degrees from yours. Thoughts?
