People whom like the spot light with a TS clearance seems like a bad idea. The entire article is case in point. Do we really need more "guess how awesome I am!" type people in these sectors? Maybe she served well. Would have served better saying nothing about it. IMO.

In the bigger picture (desperate attempt to recruit women into the CSTs and other similar missions - or just desperate attempt to recruit) they're more than willing to sacrifice her anonymity for the greater good. I doubt seriously she had much to do with the shaping of the article. MOO - she appears to have a decent head on her shoulders and looks to match. If she makes a career of the military, she'll have no problems. There are plenty of jobs she will be able to do that don't require "secret squirrel" status. If it doesn't go to her head, a little celebrity early on will open a lot of doors down the road. Facts of life.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
