    I served two combat tours in Iraq. I know how these operations are supposed to go. Top takeaways:  1) Hegseth definitively exposed CLASSIFIED war plans. 2) Hegseth must resign. IMMEDIATELY. 3) This is a cover-up at the highest levels of government. Let me explain.  🧵

    This level of operational detail— timing, strike package, battle damage assessment, and more — is 100% definitively, unequivocally CLASSIFIED information. Sharing that on an unsecured network, EVEN WITHOUT A REPORTER, is a crime and put the lives of service members at risk.

    Hegseth is blatantly lying (or is somehow even more clueless & incompetent than we all thought). He must resign, IMMEDIATELY. And should lawyer up.  But it doesn't end there.

    EVERYONE, up to and including President Trump, needs to explain themselves.  They lied to the American people. And tried to cover it up.  And didn't care that it put troops at risk and threatened our national security.

    This story is not going away.  In fact, it is just getting started.  How many other similar situations are we not aware of? How many other sensitive war plans have been compromised? We will get to the bottom of this, and we will hold them accountable.
