He Leaked War Plans Twice. Yemen Houthi Attack Leak Exposes Pentagon Power Struggles

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is under intense scrutiny after leaking sensitive details about a Yemen Houthi attack in a private Signal chat group.

The group included his wife, brother, and personal lawyer—none of whom hold military clearance. The chat revealed classified information about U.S. air strike schedules, prompting serious national security concerns.

For most people, this might feel like another headline from a political drama. But in reality, it could have risked the lives of U.S. troops and international partners on the ground. At a time when global tensions are already high, sloppy handling of military secrets adds unnecessary danger—and distrust.

Not the First Time: A Pattern of Poor Judgment

This is not Hegseth’s first breach. Earlier this year, The Atlantic reported a similar incident where he used an unclassified app to discuss military operations. That leak also involved the Yemen Houthi attack strategy, making this the second time critical intel has been mishandled.

What started as a chat group for discussing admin tasks during Hegseth’s confirmation has now turned into a virtual crime scene.

The group had 12 members and was originally created to manage scheduling. Somehow, it evolved into a space where real-time updates on air strikes were casually shared, like weekend plans.

Even more surprising? His wife, a former Fox News producer, not only had access to this chat but also attended sensitive meetings with British defense officials. Meanwhile, Hegseth’s brother currently serves as a liaison between the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon.

In short, this family chat became a Pentagon backchannel. WhatsApp who?

Political Firestorm: Calls for Resignation

Democrats wasted no time. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Tammy Duckworth have both called for Hegseth’s resignation, accusing him of recklessness and putting lives at risk. They argue that anyone who leaks military strike data—twice—is unfit to serve.

The Pentagon, however, dismissed the uproar. Spokesperson Sean Parnell called the reports “Trump-hating media spin,” while the White House claimed the situation was “exaggerated by disgruntled leakers.”

Still, the internal chaos tells a different story.

Internal Fallout: Heads Rolling Inside the Pentagon

Following the leaks, senior adviser Dan Caldwell was fired. Then came the dismissal of Darin Selnick, deputy chief of staff, and Colin Carroll, chief of staff to the Deputy Defense Secretary. All were reportedly tied to internal discussions and investigations related to the Yemen Houthi attack leak.

The firings suggest more than just bad optics—they hint at real panic within Pentagon walls. Trust, once broken in defense circles, is hard to rebuild.

Why This Matters

This isn’t just political theatre. These leaks could’ve exposed tactical operations in a volatile region. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have already retaliated against U.S. interests. Knowing air strike plans in advance could have allowed them to shield targets or strike back harder.

For everyday Americans, it’s a reminder that national security isn’t just about fighter jets—it’s also about secure group chats.

One Last Thought

The Defense Secretary shared top-secret intel on a Signal group like it was a family recipe. If that doesn’t worry you, imagine Tom Brady texting out the Super Bowl playbook. Now imagine lives are on the line.

This isn’t just bad judgment—it’s dangerous.
