No, it's whataboutism. Excuses no one. Hillary abused her privileges and these bozos proved they don't know the rules and then lied. Without the cover-up it might have gone away. Now it's SignalGate. This affects trust in America intelligence by allies.

It's wishful thinking. What Hillary did was millions of times worse. She was probably selling secrets. Wake up.

It's not 'whataboutism'. You can't have one standard for democrats and another for republicans. If I were Trump, I would not submit to these double standards. I agree that they should have disclosed what was on the chat, but having times without locations does not necessarily put anyone in danger. I'm for reforms, but not firings. You wants scalps, but you'll get none.

Looking forward to Hegseth visiting the troops. Guess we'll find out what they think of their new boss. Given that a number are posted in Europe, which he depises paying for, it could be uncomfortable.

Much ado about very little, pardner. This kerfuffle likely was an inside job/set up anyway. The "reforms" you call for amount to little more than double-confirming who is in on the next group chat. End of story.

As though an inside job would make this go away. This is about how missions involving real pilots and sailors with families are planned. Loss of confidence in leadership is more than a kerfuffle.
