One of those CDs is lost or captured, and then the opponent
has a years worth of weather reports and routine messages
to two tech sergeants and a light squad of flunkies and
guards in a warehouse / launch bunker in the middle of the
desert.
Or maybe if the war is two weeks away, you've got your 'East Wind'
message.
You use a different CD pair for each bunker. It's easy enough
with CD-Rs.
Easy enough to generate the CD's. Key distribution & syncing up could
be a bit problematical though. Solveable, but non-trivial.
