As a civilian (now) I'd say that the "action" is soon likely to be more along the lines of investigating whether there was unauthorized disclosure of things still of value to those still serving, rather than titillating details that might normally drive such book sales. Busting OPSEC or TTPs in my daily work is gonna get you a speedy rudder correction applied; whether you're in ACUs or Dockers.

I wonder whether GEN Dempsey feels as if this was "helpful."
Maybe the book was well-edited. We'll see.
