“If people feel like our values don’t matter anymore—our values as war fighters, our values as Americans—then they’re not going to be there when we need them,” says William McRaven.

For example: this is Defense Secretary Hegseth after he fired Dan Caldwell, a senior adviser; Darin Selnick, deputy chief of staff; Colin Carroll, chief of staff to the deputy defense secretary. None of them were ever found to have leaked classified information as Hegseth alleged.
Important to keep in mind: Defense Secretary Hegseth has a history of accusing people of leaking to the press, allegations that were never proven to be true. Also, could be mistaken but it’s not typical for Pentagon spokespeople to communicate that a service member is under a DOJ classified leak investigation.

EXCLUSIVE: Well before the throttling this month of Ukraine's military access to Elon Musk's satellite communications system, the Biden and Trump administrations had several times asked SpaceX to turn its Starlink service on or off in various countries

Ukraine losing access to Starshield raises serious concerns for our national security—like who controls critical capabilities the U.S. government has spent billions to procure & how decisions to restrict them are made. I'm demanding answers from the Department of Defense & SpaceX

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

Behind closed doors, the DoD has made a bad habit of classifying the minimal details they choose to tell Congress. Why?
Because if it's classified, we can't talk about it and they can go on hiding the cost of this war from the public.
No more. Americans deserve to know.

NEW: Current and former military leaders are bracing for the Trump administration to release its review of the Afghanistan evacuation as soon as this month, people familiar with the matter said, a move that would revive discourse of the war's closing days just before elections.

“Elon Musk approached Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Starlink in Ukraine, The Telegraph can reveal.
The billionaire tech entrepreneur approached the US president with the proposal to introduce speed limits on the system, which hampered Ukraine’s drone defences, according to four sources familiar with the discussions.
One of the sources said Mr Trump “agreed” with Mr Musk’s suggestion, paving the way for the Pentagon to execute the slowdown on Starshield, the military-grade version of the satellite communications system.

Afghanistan’s leaders haven’t changed ideologically. But five years after returning to power, they have learnt from where the “first emirate” went wrong.

Senator Blumenthal is the co author of the bipartisan Graham sanctions bill. Trump just waived it thus exempting the largest purchasers of Russian oil from any financial punishment.
