Hegseth Also Shared Military Details In Second, Personal Signal Chat: Report

HegsethDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly shared details of an impending military attack on Yemen in a second, more personal Signal chat, as revealed in a New York Times investigation published Sunday and a report from CNN.

Around the same time he was exchanging details on planned airstrikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen in texts with a group of senior government, intelligence officials and a journalist mistakenly added to the group, Hegseth was allegedly sharing nearly identical military intel in a group which included his wife Jennifer, his brother Phil, his personal lawyer Tim Parlatore, and about a dozen others from his inner circle.

This newly disclosed thread, created by Hegseth and named the “Defense | Team Huddle” group, was reportedly accessed through his personal phone, not his government-issued device.

While Phil Hegseth and Parlatore both work for the Pentagon, neither appear to have any apparent reason to be briefed on the operation, which targeted Houthi rebels in Yemen on March 15.

Government watchdog declares DEI dead at the Pentagon

DEi dead at the Pentagon The Pentagon has eliminated nearly 200 jobs related to diversity, equity and inclusion in the last year, killing the Biden-administration’s effort aimed at providing “everyone an opportunity to reach their full potential,” according to report released by the Government Accountability Office.

In 2024, there had been 188 Pentagon staff members, military and civilian, with DEI duties, the GAO found. Cuts began last year under a congressional mandate with the Defense Department eliminating 32 DEI positions and restructuring jobs for 115 others.

The Pentagon’s moves, coupled with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s purge of generals and admirals who had advocated diversity efforts, represent an about face for the military on the promotion of diversity that had been rekindled after the police killing of George Floyd in 2020.

WTVNL Comment:  What a disgrace!  We aree a diverse nation.  That should be embraced, not demonized.

First Woman in Military History Completes Grueling Army Ranger Competition

first female ranger A West Point graduate became the first woman to ever complete the three-day Best Ranger Competition. First Lt. Gabrielle White, 25, was the only woman among 103 men to compete in the grueling marathon, which took place between April 11 to 13 in Georgia.

White and her teammate, Captain Seth Deltenre, placed 14th overall, with only 16 teams out of the original 52 pairs making it through to the end of the competition. White’s historic act comes at a time when the administration is trying to push women out of the military.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said on the Shawn Ryan Show in November that “straight up,” women should not be in combat roles. “It hasn’t made us more effective, hasn’t made us more lethal, has made fighting more complicated,” he said.

U.S. Army says recovering 4 soldiers missing in Lithuania "will be a long and difficult" operation

tank recoveredLithuania's president said Friday that he hoped for "a miracle" as he visited the site of a rescue operation to recover four missing U.S. Army soldiers from their submerged vehicle. The four soldiers, assigned to the Army's 1st Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division, went missing early Tuesday morning during a maintenance mission to recover another U.S. Army vehicle in the Pabrade training area, near Lithuania's border with Belarus, during a scheduled training missing, the Army has said.

Search and rescue teams were at the scene on Friday using heavy military equipment and excavators to remove silt from the body of water where the vehicle was found on Wednesday.

"I am still hoping for a miracle," Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda told reporters in Pabrade. "Although many sceptics would probably say that there is nothing to hope for in these circumstances, I want to believe."

While Trump’s trans military ban is challenged in court, long-serving troops prepare for what’s next

transgender militaryPresident Donald Trump’s executive order singling out transgender service members wasn’t a shock to Lt. Cmdr. Geirid Morgan and her family. Nor was the Pentagon’s accompanying policy to remove trans troops from the force, released about a month after Trump’s order.

“The first feelings I had really were just, concerned for my fellow transgender service members, concerned for their families, concerned for the service members that service under them,” she said.

Morgan has spent 14 years moving up the ranks in the U.S. Navy. Long-serving trans service members, like Morgan, are now plaintiffs in legal challenges against Trump’s ban. To the trans troops suing the government — among them, an Air Force staff sergeant with 16 years of service, a Navy commander with 19, an Army sergeant first class with 20 — the ban is poised not only to harm them, but also drain experience and expertise from the military.
