Let's have every single general, admiral, and other very high ranking military personnel in the same room with the secretary of war and the president. Oh, and let's announce it publicly ahead of time. What could go wrong?
JFC Pete is so fucking stupid. A smart, motivated, and malicious individual could have wiped out all of our military leadership in an instant.
I know Hanlon's Razor and what not, but in this case, I do have to wonder if the intent was malicious, or more data from this was gleaned by our adversaries than we realize.
At this point we know the GOP is compromised with Kremlin assets masquerading as asshats.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, and almost all their internal documents became public, western intelligence was shocked to discover that their own operations far, far outpaced the KGB in both scope and budget.
I don't really think we need "Kremlin assets" to explain this. Trust me, we have a more than sufficient asshat capacity.
How? Is a foreign actor going to launch an ICBM at Virginia? This was at Quantico, not exactly a place where anybody can enter or even get near.
Edit because I was curious and checked: the base occupies over 55,000 acres.
An insider threat (which is seeming more and more likely) wouldn't've needed an ICBM
The US goes through a threat situation like this every state of the union, if they can't handle something like that for this, they can't handle it for that either, and the state of the union is a better target.
Sure, I'm not saying it would be easy for an insider threat, I'm just saying there's options other than an ICBM.
