Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Thank you Professor.
The MAGA-controlled GOP, who now talk about a "unified Reich". I think they draw from a toxic pool that precedes McCarthy.
“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”
― Joseph Goebbels
For most of my youth, it seemed that Joe McCarthy's legacy was infamy, but it seemed that after Nixon's disgrace, Republican's drew the lesson that if you are going to lie, then lie really BIGLY, always attack, and never, ever, ever admit fault. Apart from serving the very, very wealthy, it is now the core modus operani of the party.
"You didn't come out guns blazing and just challenge them. You showed weakness," Trump told the friend, according to Woodward. "You've got to be strong. You've got to be aggressive. You've got to push back hard. You've got to deny anything that's said about you. Never admit."
Those who take a position, and refuse to apologize or alter their position when the evidence is clearly against that stand, are arrogant fools.
A true leader learns from others' mistakes as well as their own,
and accepts wise counsel and expert evidence.
The odds are better that such an intelligent person will arrive at better conclusions and solutions, and handle crises more favorably.
Now if we can only convince the voting citizenry to elect the more qualified candidate(s).
Preferably ones looking forward addressing the future,
rather than going backwards into "the dark ages."
