Loose Lips Sink Superpowers: 1965 Department of Defense Film Warning Against Leaks

Do you know who your friends really are?

In an ideal world, information would flow freely and we'd have a perfect open society, but, "but ours is no ideal world and all over this world, hostile powers, in accordance with communist doctrine, seek our nation’s fall." So goes the 1965 Department of Defense film below, released at the height of the Cold War and basically reiterating "loose lips sink ships" but on the scale of "loose lips sink superpowers." Also: dig the censored journalist getting all frustrated. Surely he would understand if only he'd seen this.
