Hartley also described his unit's flight route into Iraq, which authorities said could have given the enemy information to shoot down U.S. aircraft.
Like it or not, this is a violation of OPSEC as it provides intelligence about troop movements.
Hartley didn't think seriously enough about the definition of OPSEC. That much is clear.

I think his attitude and judgement were both poor, judging from the examples regarding the pictures he posted on prisoners, for example. The statement "Hartley said he said he does not actually love dead civilians, but maybe the military does because it produces so many of them. " says a lot - he wasn't just writing to communicate to home, he was editorializing. Not to mention taking the blog down, after being asked - and then putting it back up (without review or being approved, one assumes).
