Why would you even write OPSEC is secure, being secure is its whole point. You don't go around telling everyone it's secure, just like you don't go around telling everyone that the building isn't currently on fire.

It's just it's a new word he's recently learned, and he's damn well going to use it.

Because Hegseth is an insecure, unqualified try-hard who is more focused on using terminology and buzzwords associated with actual competency... than actually being competent.

Its linguistic peacocking.

Opsec is more about the processes of confirming that you know exactly where important information is and knowing there are as few potential leaks and risks to that information getting into unintended hands. Saying you've got clean opsec is about confirming that you've gone through the proper steps to keep communications secret.

Personally I've called for opsec before with different friend groups when different crises have arisen and I need a group of people to help another out who's in a bad mental state without tipping them off to things that might become dangerous.
