Of course they are. And everyone in the military should feel this way because this whole thing just shows that potentially every single order or piece of intel they have gotten for the last 2 months has been through Signal at some point. And what this also shows is that the people that are in charge of these departments do not even give a fuck about the safety of anyone in the military. I know there has always been certain degrees of separation between those in charge and those doing the actual work, but they'd risk national security and the lives of our military in order to avoid record keeping laws and are now lying to everyone that it's not a big deal.

From the article ...

The chat included Vice President JD Vance; Secretary of State Marco Rubio; the national security adviser, Michael Waltz; and others, but not the acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Christopher Grady, the highest-ranking military official.

Mr. Parnell said that “military leadership are frequently not included in political meetings.”

Pete Hegseth: ~~My~~ The orders came through. ~~We're~~ The squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the ~~storage depots~~ Houthi Stronghold at ~~Daiquiri~~ Yemen at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.

Pete Hegseth: I can't tell you that. It's classified.

I wonder how many of these pilots voted for this type of leadership.

"You're going to kill somebody" yeah sure, I may be bombing innocent civilians, maybe women and children but thats not the point. Their lives are cheap, our lives arent.

MAGAts shit on everybody, including and sometimes especially on themselves.

Is another wave of cheap Harleys coming? Only Time . . . will tell.

Lol at military pilots worrying they might one day have to face return fire. Get fucked, baby killers.

They could avoid all this embarrassment and danger if they'd just bombed the white house.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
