pls explain? 😬
warthunder players are often memed on for leaking classified military documents
WarThunder is ripe with military nerds that love being right about their favourite tank/plane/whatever. Sometimes, these nerds have access to official documents proving that they’re right. And sometimes these nerds go on to post classified military intel for the sake of being right.
What’s the post frequency like? At some point you freaking quarantine every new post…
I know that saying “you shut down your business“ pretty much but if you’re in the country whose secrets are being leaked you might prefer being limited to a few dozen posts a day compared to dying in an air raid
A few times a year, the Wikipedia page has a table of them
Goodness gracious
Thank you!
The people freaking out over Clinton’s emails are real quiet rn

I’m not excusing the email server, but this is absolutely worse. Planning an operation like this on unsecured phones in an app that won’t leave a paper trail and accidentally leaving an uncleared person in the chat… Holy fuck
One time I forgot to remove a mod from the mod chat of my personal discord server when my friends and I talked about banning him due to his rapid spiral into the alt right.
Now that was awkward, but holy shit is sending war plans via group chat so much worse.
mark my words: it’s just gonna keep getting more and more stupid. you think you know stupid? hold my beer.
United Stupids of America
i’ve heard it’s got electrolytes.
Its what plants crave
Unlimited Stupids of America?
This is my United States of Whatever.
Remember when he humble bragged classified intel in the Oval Office to foreign leaders? I remember, but apparently the world has forgotten.
What a wasted opportunity. The angle should have been “Top secret military plans intentionally leaked to the liberal media”. The MAGAs would have sent poor little Pete to prison and the cabinet would be eyeing each other with distrust for the next four years.
They already are eyeing eachother with distrust.
That’s 100% why Vance was offering prayers in the chat.
“We are currently clean on OPSEC” 🤡
I will do all we can to enforce 100% OPSEC”—operations security. “I welcome other thoughts.”
More like OPSEGS amirite? Lol jk jk 👊🇱🇷🔥
Brilliant, leak the plans so the enemy will think it’s a fake, then do it anyways. Like a reverse mincemeat
The last thing the enemy will expect is a 8th suicidal charge into their defensive positions! It is a brilliant plan!

the party of “common sense” and “competence” btw
also “party of personal responsibility” when they choose to not investigate any of this
Party of law and order too, after breaking classified communication laws.
This guy is rocking maybe 93 iq on a good day.
Mediocre white guy hire to lead the nation’s defense.
Yeah, but if it’s this difficult for a white cis-het man to not text top secret documents to the wrong person, imagine how many times a DEI hire would have done it by now.
Let’s ask Gen. Brown Jr. how many times he has leaked war plans through messengers. I am sure he could go on for hours.
I recently saw Adam Savage’s site was selling demerit patches for the workshop.
I think it would be funny to see a bunch of military demerit patches designed for the dumb shit Hegseth does. They could be sewn to his prison shirt if y’all manage to get him in prison eventually.
In his defence, he was blackout drunk at the time.
Behold, the master race.
Off topic: Why is there a “gift” code and various tracking paramters in the url?
Url does seem to work without them: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/trump-administration-accidentally-texted-me-its-war-plans/682151/
The gift code means a subscriber is sharing access to the content.
Though I don’t doubt the sites use this as a double purpose for tracking.
It wasn’t Hegseth because he’d send a message in a bottle
