Sounds like these people need to start leaking to reputable but not yet compromised outlets like The Bulwark, Crooked Media, Majority Report, Meidas Touch, etc.

Like it's a legit concern to not put troops in danger, but you can reveal plans without revealing exact times, positions, and actions.

"Sources in DOD reveal plans for joint operation in Venezuela to arrest & expedite Maduro for trial in the US within the next 72 hours."

No way that puts any troops in danger.

    As if only now there's a problem?
    They joined a fascist army that has a history of terrorizing countless countries since forever.
    Under both sides of the imperialist uniparty.
    Fuck every last one of them.

    Yes, and your average high school drop out in rural Oklahoma that has no other choices or prospects between joining the army and picking up the meth pipe knows exactly what part they are playing under imperialism... If they can spell that word.

    Maybe blanket statements like "fuck every last one of them" serve no purpose in this discussion.

    no other choices

    that same excuse.
    "I had no choice, there was a crisis in the 30's so I simply had no choice but to join the SS and go kill some people and gas some jews, you have to understand!"

    Understanding that you're joining a murderous organization of thugs that gives you a weapon and trains you to kill brown people doesn't require a degree.
    Even some hillbilly from Oklahoma or wherever in the banana republic knows what that means.
    Indeed fuck every last one of them.

    You are vastly overestimating how informed these people are in order to justify your hatred of them.

    Why would they do that? These leaks came from within the Trump administration with the intention of building support for the invasion. These publications were given prior notice so they could begin building a credible defense of the administration's actions, not so that they could discourage the administration from proceeding.
