Security Obscurity

Some kinds of threats can be obvious while other spring up out of nowhere to surprise you. One kind you can prepare for, while the other takes you completely off guard. It is impossible for a nation’s society to be strong in every aspect. Therefore, preparing and defending one’s self against one type of threat has the potential to take attention away from a critical weakness that will not even be realized until the damage has been done.

That being said, I’ll stick to my position in class and say that while it is impossible for a nation to be completely, 100%, without the remote possibility of insecurity, secure national security is still a concrete idea that a nation can strive towards. There are different ways of going about security, and with each method comes different concerns and potential threats.
