Retired people keep their clearances... Because they are valuable people. So, no, they are not getting their info from here.

A clearance means nothing without having the need to know. Need to know is a key component of sharing classified info.

They would not keep their clearances if there were not instances where they have need to know. But hey, keep being an idiot. You have absolutely no clue or knowledge but still keep trying to argue that you are the smartest man in the room and that people who made it General are beneath you.

Really? Sorry if I struck a nerve. I'm certainly not trying to imply that I'm the smartest person in the room, but there are plenty of reasons someone could keep a clearance and still not have the need to know. Compartmentalization in information security is a big deal, whether public or private, the limiting of access to information to persons or other entities on a need-to-know basis to perform certain tasks. When it comes to former Generals, I'm sure there are ways they could keep an inside track or hear whisperings, but I wasn't trying to be combative. Lighten up man... I think you're taking No-nut November too seriously. lol
