Someone can correct me here, but I heard recently that 10th Special Forces Group (as the first SF Group) received its designation, in part, so our enemies would think we had more SF capability then we did at the time, hence "10th," before "1st."

I have heard that this is the same rationale applied to creating what is now DEVGRU (formerly Seal Team 6).
Back to the topic: Politicians and service members who have gotten too used to their easy chairs and desks are often our enemies where OPSEC is secured. I'm sure many of you remember the old OPSEC poster of the Cobra...and a statement something along the lines of "Loose tongues are more dangerous than this".
