Defense Secretary Hegseth must go, using unsecured Signal endangers lives Text SIGN PMODWN to 50409 — The reported actions of Secretary Hegseth in sharing sensitive operational details about the Yemen strikes through unclassified private channels raise grave national security concerns. Leaking classified information, even inadvertently to personal contacts, is an egregious breach of protocols safeguarding intelligence. This compromises operational security and risks undermining the military's ability to carry out its mission safely and effectively. Such lapses in judgment from the Defense Secretary are unacceptable. They demonstrate a fundamental lack of understanding about protecting classified information that jeopardizes national security. Enough is enough. Restoring confidence in the leadership of the Pentagon is paramount. Thorough investigations must be conducted to ensure no classified information was actually exposed, and stringent disciplinary measures should follow if violations are confirmed. The apparent mishandling of intelligence by the highest defense official is extremely concerning. Urgent action is needed to address this breach and prevent future incidents that could put American personnel and operations at risk around the world. https://resist.bot/petitions/PMODWN
