I can't see anyone in the command chain entrusting plans to email under normal opsec considerations. I don't really want operations plans to be transparent, but I'm just thinking that divulging these plans in an email is pretty sloppy on its face. That should be a no-go no matter what.
Do we know what platform this email was sent?
Yes, it was sent on Signal. But that isn't any secure channel I've any experience with, and it goes over public wires, IIUC, which is a TOTAL no-no. I think it's a toss-up between deliberate revelation, or incompetence. In terms of results, I guess that doesn't matter, given the chump's actual concern for guarding government secrets. Fucking bathroom storage, yet.
Then Hegseth has proved his incompetence, as if it wasn't already apparent.
