Please tell me what specific targets were in that thread?

Please tell me what specific locations where to be targeted?

Please tell me how many F-18s or Reapers the United States own and did that release identify where they were located?

Please tell me how many minutes prior to the attack this information was passed to cabinet level secretaries on AN APPROVED ENCRYPTED APPLICATION.

Make no bones this is a self goal, but they admitted it was wrong and learned from it going forward.

This information was disseminated 2 hours before the attack. To be clear it is a violation of the law to transmit sensitive information on a non-secure platform (signal is not approved for transmitting classified information or sensitive information)If you cant understand why putting information about weapons systems in a chat two hours before an attack is dangerous then I can't help you. The target was discussed, because he was described to be at his girlfriends house. This has the potential to out an imbedded source on the ground. Lastly the Houthis have anti-aircraft guns. With 2 hours notice they could have been prepared to fire on the f18's and the drones we used during the attack (they've already shot down some of our drones.)

Damn I have gotten at least 100 fragos etc… over the encrypted radio. I guess I should get criminally charged if the cabinet secretaries are in trouble for have a collaborative planning group discussing sensitive information on an approved encrypted application!

---

Are you really comparing a FRAGO (defined as a brief, abbreviated order issued to change or modify a previously issued operation order (OPORD) over an ENCRYPTED radio to using a signal text message group with unverified participants to discuss time frames of attacks, weaponry, and targets? I can't believe you just typed that.

What’s your personal experience dealing with and talking to the Secretary of Defense and VP?

---

I have talked to neither, but I do have specific knowledge of the expectations for secure communication and know for sure that Signal threads on cell phones are not approved methods of communicating sensitive information. There was also no immediate need to share this information via signal.

I used mirc chat over a few countries in my past, hope nobody finds out!

Despite the U.S. military’s massive spending each year on advanced communications technology, the use of simple text chat or tactical chat has outpaced other systems to become one of the most popular paths for communicating practical information on the battlefield. Though the use of text chat by the U.S. military first began in the early 1990s, in recent years tactical chat has evolved into a “primary ‘comms’ path, having supplanted voice communications as the primary means of common operational picture (COP) updating in support of situational awareness.”

Only problem is that these folks weren't on the battlefield. They were in a position to communicate from a SCIF and chose to converse about highly sensitive information via a non-secure text group, one of whom was in Moscow at the time. There is a marked difference I'd think. A regular Joe would have been run out of the military on a rope if he'd been caught doing this.

When Waltz added Goldberg was Goldberg Listed as his initials "JG" or his full name?

How did Goldberg know that groups existence? It looks like an already named group. It is very strange.

As far as folks comparing it to everyday texting. Of course we all check who is in the group.

In this setting you trust your aides and staff and presume the people in the chat are all good to go at this level.

The sad thing is there is a very important DOGE hearing with NPR and AP on the hotseat that no one will watch. But the grilling from democrats committee is also on again today.

The urgent issues like China buying USA land carte blanche' is ignored over the dems questioning them like they committed treason.

Goldberg was added as a contact on signal first, which isn't strange as a number of officials noted that Goldberg was in their contacts. Days later he was added to the PC Houthi Group. What no one seems to understand is that signal nor cell phones are authorized for sharing what was at minimum secret information that was shared. The discussions had should have been conducted in a SCIF where cell phones are not allowed. One member of the signal text group was texting from Moscow. This was a monumental violation of law and protocol.
