“You’re going to kill somebody,” one pilot said.
Already did, an apartment building full of people just to get one dude from what I understand. But yeah, let's focus on the security concerns bcz that's more flashy. Not like we haven't been bombing other countries for decades.
Not to mention: they targeted the dudes girlfriend’s apartment.
Like… wow. Not even his own house. In any other administration, this’d be indefensible. Now, it’s just Tuesday or whatever.
Edit: I know this happened under Obama. I am absolutely not defending those actions. With that said, I’d bet a decade of my salary that they took the situation a whole lot more seriously than the DUI hire approach of “lol fuckin send it 👊 🇺🇸 🔥 “. That obviously doesn’t excuse the innocents killed by strikes ordered by Obama. But it is relevant context, and it speaks to the gravity (or lack thereof) that the respective involved parties treated the situation with.
Similar shit happened under Obama. There's a bipartisan agreement that you can kill whomever you want just to get one terrorist.
They have enjoyed bombing weddings.
Don’t mention which President that occurred under…
More than one.
No, Obama killed a lot of innocent people with drone strikes. Extra judicial execution by air strike on foreign soil is an American tradition at this point.
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.
Any enterprising pilots wanna pickle a JDAM or two on Hesgeth’s house? Training accidents and weapon mismounts are absolutely a thing, and have been done with… uh… weapons that make a much bigger bang.
Oh so now you’re concerned about where your orders come from and why
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.
Reporter: When will ~~you~~ they be back?
Pete Hegseth: I can't tell you that. It's classified.
I can't talk for too long; I have to go pack. We're sailing to Normandy tomorrow.
Loose lips something something
Oh ~~Ted!~~ Pete!
I wonder how many of these pilots voted for this type of leadership.
MAGAts shit on everybody, including and sometimes especially on themselves.
Is another wave of cheap Harleys coming? Only Time . . . will tell.
You put some people in harms way and they get upset?! Whodathunk...
Why would WhiskeyLeaks care? They are put there to serve him damn it.
Needlessly and recklessly endanger people who you already put in harm's way*
Ftfy
Politician: [leaks plans for genocide]
NYTimes: But what about the luftwaffen?!?! How do they feel?
"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.
They could avoid all this embarrassment and danger if they'd just bombed the white house.
Lol at military pilots worrying they might one day have to face return fire. Get fucked, baby killers.
