The Pentagon is seething over a Washington Post report that top military leaders recently warned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth against extending large-scale Iran war operations.
People familiar with a classified assessment prepared for Hegseth told the Post that several combatant commanders have advised the Defense chief that prolonging operations against Iran is unsustainable and risks weakening the U.S.’s ability to address threats elsewhere, including on U.S. soil.
The warnings appear in the Aug. 14 edition of the Secretary of Defense Orders Book (SDOB), detailed by the heads of the Army, Navy and Air Force, and the four-star commanders overseeing U.S. operations throughout Europe, Asia and Latin America, the Post reported Sunday.
These days the DOD is about as leaky as Donnie’s diapers.
I applaud those who are willing to take the risk to get it out that at least some of the brass has guts enough to tell the boss he’s wrong.
It appears to me that information about the Aircraft Carrier’s neglect being reported by Stars and Stripes Magazine led the administration to replace it’s leadership and whatever else they just did promptly after.
In Kegs-breath’s DOD, there a non zero chance that dumbass leaked it himself.
