Sounds like these people need to start leaking to reputable but not yet compromised outlets like The Bulwark, Crooked Media, Majority Report, Meidas Touch, etc.
Like it's a legit concern to not put troops in danger, but you can reveal plans without revealing exact times, positions, and actions.
"Sources in DOD reveal plans for joint operation in Venezuela to arrest & expedite Maduro for trial in the US within the next 72 hours."
No way that puts any troops in danger.
