James D. Hornfischer Quote

Ghormley wary about the threat of espionage. No doubt mindful of the role that spies played in the surprise attacks at Pearl Harbor and the Philippines, Ghormley wrote his staff, Loose talk is a stupid habit.… Some would risk the lives of their friends by a silly effort to impress others in public places.
