Signal Chat Leak Angers U.S. Military Pilots
27th March 2025
The New York Times, a Voice of the Crust.
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, the news that senior officials in the Trump administration discussed plans for an impending attack on Signal, a commercial messaging app, 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.
Note that they were endangered, not by anyone in the Trump administration, but by the ‘journalist’ that this writer for the NYT seems to admit was a probable traitor who would publish any information that he found out, however classified. Of course, the Time has to spin this as a problem with the administration, whereas the real problem is the apparatchiks of the Narrartive Media who can be depended upon to blab any classified information they come across to the four winds–and America’s enemies.
