Yes you did. Crimes done by government are the State's most closely guarded (if not well kept) secrets.
EDIT: Downvoters already forgot all about Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, and David McBride, etc.
All of whom leaked evidence of crimes committed by their governments and were prosecuted for "revealing state secrets and endangering national security".
then maybe there should be some whistleblower program or something idk. but at the same time people in the military who have secret war plans, shouldn't be allowed to give that to the enemy. look at both sides
