Ret. Gen. Barry McCaffrey Slams Hegseth’s Signal Chats: ‘Amateur, Juvenile Bro-Messaging’

‘You know, hackers can get onto your personal cell phone’

EXCERPT:

MCCAFFREY: “He was warned to not do it. He was putting operational details that would place at risk U.S. Navy carrier pilots. It’s really outrageous. But I think, backing off that, we’re — this Secretary of Defense is acting like Rambo Major. You know, he’s not serious in his purpose. He’s trying to organize and manage a two million-person operation, active guard and reserve. It takes five years to make significant changes. And it looks to me as if this is an amateur Juvenile, look at the cool secrets I’ve got, sort of a bro-messaging system that’s going to cause serious damage at the top of the Department of Defense.”
