Hogwash, David.  High grade hogwash.

First off, hams aren't going to be sending >anything< on DoD QRGs.

Second off, DoD circuit operators (for example a Navy radioman) don't chose
"on the fly" which mode to use on a circuit.  Each circuit has a specific
use (NTDS, S/S, PriTac, TG Common, etc) and an appropriate mode.  The
operator wouldn't chose to use CW on an NTDS circuit, but if he did, the
skipper would "prosecute" him for incompetence, not for violating some
mythical "no CW" legality.
