[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know many Trumpers. They don't have any problem with this. They rejoice about the septic mothers in Texas, the sovereign wealth fund and the astronauts returning.[/quote]

They are brainwashed.
My babysitter told me today "Look at all the fraud they are finding!" She watches Fox, of course. 
She just lost her part-time job, but she thinks it's Biden's fault. 
(my kids love her, BTW, so I forgive all this crap). [/quote]

They’re not just brainwashed. Fox News actually thinks they’re stupid.

Huh. Flyover land and we know this is a clusterf*ck. 
Actually, I looked at r/conservative, which is a crazy bunch of maggats, and they almost universally said heads have to roll. Any person in the military who would be in big time trouble for such carelessness is not happy about this.[/quote]

Yes, the online military community which trends conservative is floored by this incident.  They pretty much universally say that these idiots need to be fired.  [/quote]
Anybody in the military, IC, or with any level of security clearance spends many-many-many hours on security trainings that include multiple examples when spillage, even accidental, leads  to very severe consequences even for the lowest level employees, so, yes, they are outraged.

An average Trump voter has no idea about all that clearance mambo-jumbo so that is why they don’t see what the problem is. There must be an analogy of “for me but not for thee” that they can relate to but nothing comes to mind. [/quote]

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.

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.
