This is such a great example of why a lot of main stream press sucks. Who cares about what military pilots think about this? This would only be interesting if they thought it was no biggie.

If a journalist wants to keep this rolling there are other angles to take. Make a listicale with all the different parts where the law was broken or operational security wasn't followed. Make an article about the people involved and why they were in this group chat. Write about what this means for other classified information.

They really want to make this into a story of military personnel vs Trumps team so they can avoid saying this is bad.

Because they still command near universal respect, even if the law lately unfortunately doesn't.

No they don't.

This is a group known for spewing dioxin over civilian populations, bombing weddings and hospitals, &c in large parts of the world. They inflict enormous violence at a huge distance, and unlike infantry they aren't forced to see the consequences of their actions up close.

Huge amounts of resources have been spent to make these people and what they do seem cool rather than cowardly and atrocious.

The majority of Americans have a favorable view of the military, and I suspect it's even higher for fighter pilots (Top Gun!)

So? Are those the only people that matter?
