Michael Hayden, former CIA chief, blames millennials for intel leaks

Millennials are making it difficult for the U.S. intelligence community to keep secrets, according to a former director of the NSA and CIA.

Weighing in following WikiLeaks‘ publication this week of previously unreleased intelligence files, retired four-star General Michael Hayden indicated that individuals who came of age around the turn of the century are “culturally” more inclined to part ways with privileged information.

“I don’t mean to judge them at all, but this group of millennials and related groups simply have different understandings of the words loyalty, secrecy and transparency than certainly my generation did,” Gen. Hayden, 71, told BBC on Wednesday.

“So we bring these folks into the agency – good Americans, all, I assume – but culturally they have different instincts than the people who made the decision to hire them,” said the former chief spymaster.

Gen. Hayden’s remarks were aired by BBC a day after WikiLeaks announced the publication of thousands of files said to have been obtained from the CIA’s elite hacking division, the Center for Cyber Intelligence, including documents detailing the agency’s previously undisclosed offensive cyber abilities.

“This seems to be an incredibly damaging leak in terms of the tactics, techniques, procedures and tools that were used by the Central Intelligence Agency to conduct legitimate foreign intelligence. In other words, it has made my country and my country’s friends less safe,” Gen. Hayden told the BBC.

The leaks will stop when the executions begin.

Maybe if the intel.fed.gov agencies stopped unwarranted (including FISA warrants) surveillance of Americans here in America, and lying to the America citizenry, it might stop.

The majority of these latest leaks appear motivated by Conscious, not Money, Ideology, or Ego.

I would say Politics rather than Conscious.

Our country has never really been at risk since WWII. Mellennials have no idea what it is to worry we might lose our country to another; through force. The history is not taught in shcools anymore. Or if it is, it's so watered down and skewed it leaves the wrong impression. If they only realized they'd be the first to be massly executed if it were to happen.
