“Loose Lips Sink Ships” was a popular phrase during World War II. If you are a fan of Tom Clancy novels, he often illustrated how a casual remark by someone could be very helpful to a foreign agent seeking information.

This is a war relating to munitions, and they are running out of that ammunition and we\u2019re low on it. And so what I finally did, I took the recommendation of the Defense Department to, not permanently, but to allow for in this transition period where we have more 155 weapons, these shells for the Ukrainians, to provide them with something that has a very low dud rate. It\u2019s about \u2014 I think it\u2019s 150, which is the least likely to be blowing.<\/strong><\/p>\n Why not work toward peace instead?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Loose Lips Sink Ships” was a popular phrase during World War II.
