Lookin' tough vs. doing things: We know which one Secretary Shitfaced prefers! (Wonkette)

Excerpt from the article titled: Pentagon Starting To Leak About What A Loser F*ckup Pete Kegseth Really Is

The deployments to the border are “clearly more about optics,” the defense official said. The official added that diverting troops and assets to patrol a mostly peaceful border was actually drawing them away from training exercises that could improve overall combat readiness.

Lookin’ tough vs. doing things: We know which one Secretary Shitfaced prefers!

Hegseth has been insisting that the bomby-bomby details he shared in that Signal chat weren’t classified, as if it makes sense in any universe that any details about any military operation that is imminently about to happen wouldn’t be classified, Jesus Christ, my fucking ass.

Four sources CNN spoke to agree that Jesus Christ, my fucking ass:

[F]our people familiar with the matter told CNN that the information Hegseth disclosed on the Houthi group chat was classified, despite the administration’s claims to the contrary. One of the people said they saw documents sent within DoD about the operation, which were marked classified and included the same information Hegseth disclosed in the Signal chat about specific weapons platforms and timing.

“It was classified when it was shared below the principal level,” this person said.
