Pentagon [is not] ready to unveil and demonstrate operational Classified Space Weapon

For those that care about going down the lines of a topic, the 3D CAD demo was made quickly to show that it was indeed possible to design a module with minimal changes of the X-37B for de-orbiting discreetly a single pasengers from a secret orbital station.
Indeed, the X-37 was even adapted for a possible space ambulance application (with a medic and stretcher).

No, it did not show it was possible.
a. Changing the outer mold line is not "minimal" nor even possible
b. It did not account for life support systems and other systems
c. It did not account for the mass of those systems and the crew member, which is limited to only 500lb
d. The X-37 does not have the capability to rendezvous, station keep or much less dock with anything. (doesn't have the thrusters or sensors)
