This is being done not only to punish Caldwell, but to send a message to every other person working in the govt that if they see something they think is wrong, they better keep their mouth shut."

NonilexAlthough Caldwell is not as well known as other snr #Pentagon ofcls, he has played a critical role as an adviser to #Hegseth.
His importance was underscored in a leaked text chain on #Signal disclosed by #TheAtlantic.
In it, Hegseth named Caldwell as the best staff contact for the #NSC as it prepared for the launch of strikes against the Houthis.
Caldwell had drawn attention…for past views that critics have called #isolationist, but which advocates said sought to right-size America's priorities.

These folks aren't necessarily #left leaning
But now they are on the outside, with us
Not just ex-#Pentagon, but from all over the #US #government
They have a grudge against the #bigot-#moron-#plutocrat #coup
Smart people who know things
Some of them may even be on #Mastodon
I say to them: "welcome" 👋
Lets do something about it
