“Non-concurs are standard. The Secretary sees them constantly.”
Publishing highly classified assessments from the Secretary’s orders book is a crime.
It’s a betrayal of the force.
And much of what they’re publishing is inaccurate.
Of course, we demand candid military advice. Non-concurs are standard. The Secretary sees them constantly. That’s how you run a real military.
We are in great shape around the world.
This story isn’t about readiness.
It’s TDS and PDS — they hate President Trump and Secretary Hegseth more than they love America.

I reaffirmed what the law says, what the DOD regs say, which is that Stars and Stripes is meant to be free of news management and censorship."
