> Should military plans be transparent?

Yes when they contradict lies told to the people to help sell a war.

Secrecy is a privilege that officials need to earn. In the US there is widespread abuse of power when officials make unflattering information top secret so it won't be released to the public. That's what the Iraq and Afghanistan war logs showed us.

Obviously some things should be kept secret, but in the US we have way too much government secrecy and it's used as a tool to help officials abuse power.
