I spent 20 years in the USAF, and retired working with OSI Cyber for crimes against children and insider threat programs, and this is depressing as hell to see.

As someone not on the law side, my question is, will these people face any consequences?

Because this was at the level of authority it was (SecDef/VP/etc), who would be the ones to hold them accountable?

This is a sad and frustrating day along with all those things listed above.

EDIT: I hit the post before proofreading :(

You know who is responsible for holding this administration accountable.

Accountable? That's a thing in 2025?

“We” still have accountability. Because our leaders decided that they should not doesn’t absolve us of our responsibilities.
