To put the incompetent leaders war plans leak into prospective

Last edited Tue Mar 25, 2025, 12:53 PM - Edit history (1)

How would you like to be the soldier or pilot going into hostile territory against an enemy and the enemy was told ahead of time that you were coming and the details of your attack.
It would be like a booby trap being set by your commanders.

And it was revealed in the chat that this strike was purely for show, photo ops...
THIS IS SERIOUS SHIT.

Sent you to die.

If a military officer had done this, they would be arrested and courtmartialed.

In a more simple example:
Your dad knew a murderer was waiting in a dark ally to slit your throat and your dad called and told the murderer that you would be walking through that dark ally and an estimated time.
And your dad told you to go into the ally.

in uniform. You are not safe with this bunch of knuckleheads. Forget everything that you think you know about republicans and what is beaten into everyone's head in the media, that republicans are strong on the military. No they are not. And no, they have never been. It's all been a mirage, a marketing campaign to sell or brainwash.

Democrats are strong on the military and support for our troops. They just don't have to pound their chest about it, a la Joe Biden.

If I were in the military or in the intelligence community, in harms way, I'd almost certainly be looking for a way out, if I wasn't already out. These guys are "the enemy within." Consider them Russian assets and/or assets of our adversaries.

Whomever the dunces are who voted for them, they should be ashamed! I'm referring to the Whites, Latinos, Blacks, and Asians who actually cast a vote for Trump and in so doing, against their fellow American and themselves.

SHAME!!!!

What the hell kind of military command have we actually got right now. Seriously.
How can they justify doing any military op "for show." Or even for a psyop.
The dirt-dumb civilian so-called "national security" high window team is beyond bad enough.
Just given the foreign policy propaganda network the Witkoff/Trump/Putin use to justify their so-called negotiations with Ukraine or Hamas, or this Houthi/Yemen attack ... whether this was psyops or rt ops, the US military looks untrustworthy before the American public. Enlistment numbers are down and will continue to be down, imo.
