I suspect that Golic is mad at Greenberg because he essentially went solo without Golic knowing. Kinda like when Micheal Strahan left Kelly Ripa in the dark.

The Saudis actually maintain two militaries for security/safety of the regime. The SANG (Saudi Arabian National Guard) is basically the King’s personal army, and RSAAF (Royal Saudi Arabian Armed Forces) is the regular military.

So prove it.

Nope. Nothing above TS. Caveats are handling and access notices, not classifications.

All of which confirms that ATOMAL is not only not a classification in and of itself nor is it used on US-only docs except as a transmittal method.

Have you considered that what you’ve written actually supports my argument, knowledge, and DoD regulations? Everything after the ‘/’ is a caveat, not a classification. Just like the regs say to write them.

Cite?

Nope. Trump hasn’t read the regs, hasn’t taught them for years, hasn’t had to work in a vault for the better part of a 24 year military career. Try again.

ATOMAL is not a classification under US rules. Its a caveat. Its for NATO use. You would never see a US-only document with ATOMAL as a caveat; it would have RD or FRD instead. Even in NATO, ATOMAL is not a classification.

Its not "specialized", its "sensitive". If you can't get that right, I have doubts about your credibility for the rest. Here is the link to the DoD reg concerning classified information handling. Find the level above TS and get back to me.

Not according to DoD regulations, executive orders or federal statutes. Caveats are not classification levels, they are handling controls. Here is the link to the DoD regs regarding handling classified materials. Find the stuff above TS and get back to me.

Again, you apparently don’t understand the law. For example, there was a guy in Texas several years ago who was in his upstairs apartment and heard something thru his balcony window. He goes to the window and sees a guy breaking into his car. Grabs a deer rifle and shoots him from the balcony. Result? No charges.…

First off, its Sensitive Compartmented Information, not “specialized”. Secondly, authorization codes and keys for things like Tomahawks are categorized as COMSEC materials and are generally held separately from other classified materials. So your post is partially correct.

What’s embarrassing is that I have the actual regs covering classification and actually comprehend what they say. Unlike you and many other posters here.

Yes, Michael Ballaban is clueless. I, on the other hand, have held a security clearance and have actually read the regs. There is nothing above TS. In fact, you can even read the reg in the link. Page 34.

ATOMAL is not a classification. Its a caveat designed to restrict access to nuclear data.

And you don’t know. An article from The Atlantic is no substitute for the actual statutes, executive orders, and DoD regs. TS is as high as classifications go for US info.

Bullshit. I held a TS/SCI for nearly 22 years, including a raft of codewords. There is nothing in the law, executive orders, or DoD regs above TS. Show me a verifiable source where SPECAT is anything but a handling and access caveat.

No such thing as “above top secret”. If you don’t know your subject, ask someone who does before you write it down and look like an idiot.

For the life of me, I can’t figure out why Sheldon has any friends. Even the other nerds don’t like him.
