CLASSIFIED INFORMATION: Release is extremely serious

| March 28, 2025 1:00 AM

I served as a special agent in military Intelligence in Vietnam. Regardless of your political persuasion the unintentional release of classified information must always be regarded as extremely serious. Remember any information regarding the use of military action is certainly cited as Classified if not Secret or higher.

Simply brushing this aside as a mistake or error is absolutely unacceptable. Our enemies could review it not only for the proposed action but also our thought process for other planned actions. This warrants proper action by our president to insure this can never happen again. He must show his people that he is in charge and take proper disciplinary action.
