some clever person needs to make a WW II style loose lips sink ships poster inspired by this whole situation to explain to ppl who don't get it |
And just wait to see what they have planned for veterans. I feel really sorry for any military families. Their lives are never going to be the same again after this administration is done with them. |
Trump allies are starting to notice Hegseth’s growing pile of mistakes

+1 My young adult children are pi$$ed that they gave up a normal childhood for this country that so willfully aligned itself with our enemies. And every month, I worry this check could be our last. (And to fend off the attacks, I’ll share that I’ve never voted for a republican) |
For Hegseth: Booze lips sink ships. |
Lots of articles about how pissed off military personnel are about this...mostly at Hegseth not only for making the mistake of revealing all that classified information on the group chat and then refusing to take responsibility for it. This article makes the point that people were particularly pissed that he was revealing times and dates of bombings to a broad group of Trump admin officials who had no need to know that detail which is against every aspect of OpSEC. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/us/politics/pilots-signal-leak.html Signal Chat Leak Angers U.S. Military Pilots Men and women who have taken to the air on behalf of the United States expressed bewilderment after the leak of attack plans. “You’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said. The intelligence breach was bad enough, current and former fighter pilots said. But Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s refusal to acknowledge that he should not have disclosed sensitive information about when American fighter pilots would attack sites in Yemen, they said, was even worse. On air bases, in aircraft carrier “ready rooms” and in communities near military bases this week, there was consternation. The news that senior officials in the Trump administration discussed plans on Signal, a commercial messaging app, for an impending attack angered and bewildered men and women who have taken to the air on behalf of the United States. The mistaken inclusion of the editor in chief of The Atlantic in the chat and Mr. Hegseth’s insistence that he did nothing wrong by disclosing the secret plans upend decades of military doctrine about operational security, a dozen Air Force and Navy fighter pilots said. Worse, they said, is that going forward, they can no longer be certain that the Pentagon is focused on their safety when they strap into cockpits. |
