i’m starting to doubt these AP sources… well i always did but this time they’re saying things i want to here….

but what did he do? did he call up Cox cable and have them install a line to the Pentagon? are they letting random contractors with a hard hat and a clipboard run wires straight into the pentagon?

it seems physically impossible to me….

pics or it didnt happen

Maybe he just brought a mobile Hotspot Into the Office. I Imagine, that there is still a mobile Phone Connection possible from within the Pentagon, No? The only Thing that stops you from using is the Phonehardware Provider by Pentagon, which can Not connect to insecure mobile Phone towers?

bringing a phone hotspot is not the same thing as wiring in an insecure network connection… and i would assume the pentagon would jam cell phones but im not working for… whoever is supposed to be securing that place…

Well thats the Point hegseth probably Made with the persons pointing it Out before: you are working there for him. That is what they think and what they want the World to believe, the punny little narcisists that they are.

The Guys who have Accountability over such Things are Not usually the Guys doing the operations stuff.
