Oh wow, a “secret” operation that the commanders themselves walked a New York Times reporter through, bunkers and training grounds included. Nothing says classified like a press tour. And the name “Vivaldi” sounds like a pastry shop, not a military plan. Every time a counteroffensive happens, someone rediscovers that armies plan things and then talk about them after the fact. Call it what it is: a PR-friendly leak with a cute codename.
