Perhaps, but then perhaps not. What makes you think that some seemingly insignificant post concerning anything of military nature when combined with other seemingly insignificant posts cannot provide an intelligence bonanza? Something simple such as a training event, the introduction of a new piece of equipment, or a bitch concerning the failure of a system or a slump in moral or discipline provides an opening for not only exploitation but psyops. While the reaction to some things like this can in fact be overkill, or appear to be overkill, it is only so because there is a distinct lacking in discipline and maturity within certain levels or units that create hardships for all. If you need but one example, think about what Abu Graeb did because some shit birds had to just be "cool". Something dumb, like the wrong pocket litter, can burn you and this is nothing more than inappropriate pocket litter than needs to be cleaned up for those who want to hang out their dirty laundry for all to see.
