I did not say that soldiers should not share information. Your postings however suggest that they share all information with *everybody* -- soldiers from their own unit, soldiers from other units, family members, relatives, friends etcetera. A soldier cannot do his job if he does not talk about it with other soldiers in his unit, but he should restrain from sharing information with people outside his unit, especially if he can reasonably understand that it might compromise the military. >And I didn't say that we don't have any military secrets at all - what I >*did* say, that I can be 100% sure that there is no secrets from Gulf war. You literally said: >Israel is tiny country.

For better or for worse there are not army secrets here. You did mention the Gulf War in that message, but it is far from obvious that you meant "there are no army secrets here with regard to the Gulf War". Therefore, the most logical interpretation of your remark is that Israel does not have any military secrets whatsoever.
