Suits should be filed against individuals who improperly used an insecure messaging app like Signal to discuss highly sensitive details about an impending military operation against Yemen, a deeply concerning potential breach of national security protocols. Transmitting operational information over commercial communication channels not approved for classified matters puts personnel at risk and undermines operational security. It is imperative that senior officials handle classified and sensitive national defense information through proper, secured government channels designated for such purposes. Strict adherence to established protocols is critical to safeguarding our forces and national interests. I urge a thorough review of this incident and concrete steps to ensure all officials are following proper procedures when handling sensitive matters related to military operations and national security. Careless behavior with classified information cannot be tolerated, regardless of intent.
