A National Guard official acknowledged the documents are authentic but downplayed their sensitivity, saying the assessments are intended for internal use and were inadvertently emailed to The Post last week. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing an unspecified policy. It is unclear how many people mistakenly received the documents.

I’m starting to genuinely wonder if “oops, added a journalist” is the new form of leaking…
Because it just actually happening this much is fucking insane
Whatever works.
This was intentional. Nobody writes journalist@definitelynotthemilitaryemail.com instead of specific-name@militaryemailthatwealwaysuse.com
Protect whistleblowers
Nobody writes journalist@definitelynotthemilitaryemail.com instead of specific-name@militaryemailthatwealwaysuse.com
You know that there’s no super duper secret email client, right?
It’s outlook, like for everyone else.
Type 2-3 letters, hit tab… It happens, just not constantly like this.
If you already have a journalist in your contacts list, then maaaayyyyybbbeeee.
I was invited to a Teams meeting about surface corrosion on the new Littoral combat ships, like, not even six months ago…
I’d never emailed any of the Naval officers before And haven’t been in the Navy for over a decade.
It’s concerning it’s happening near constantly, but in that example I quoted it 100% happens. More likely if you’ve emailed them before or they’re in global, but even being forwarded a chain that had a journalist cc’ed 12 emails ago could be enough to be causing this
“Trending videos show residents reacting with alarm and indignation,” a summary from Friday said. “One segment features a local [resident] describing the Guard’s presence as leveraging fear, not security — highlighting widespread discomfort with what many perceive as a show of force.”
“Gosh, we blindly followed a fascist’s orders and now people don’t trust us anymore for some reason. Nobody could have predicted this!” /s
Too much of the population has been radicalized by the Ultra Extreme Left. Only thing left to do is start cracking down on dissident media and turning up the local news jingoisms to 11.
Rumors abound of Antifa going house to house and force-feeding babies Fentanyl. News at 11. Then don’t miss the Kristy Noem “Safer Under The Flag” Crime Hour, as we discuss what phonecalls you can make and what apps you can install in order to help keep your community happier.
A US Air Force recruiter emailed me this morning
I cussed her out, told her to grow a fucking back bone.
Used to never do that to military, now I don’t respect them.
National Guard: Quit your job. Stay a good person.
Fun fact, you can’t just quit. I tried. You can desert, but then you’d risk going to prison.
Soon enough you can just say you’re trans and get out.
If they don’t believe you, start acting very outwardly like it.
If you’re unsure what to do, Google “Klinger”.
There is a 100% chance this admin makes that at least an OTH discharge if not worse.
i got under honorable conditions by not shaving and just being a general piece of shit. i didn’t do anything explicitly illegal, mind, but i wasn’t a good little airman anymore, followed orders to a tee, but never went above or beyond that. sergeant didn’t like that very much and i was out after a few more months. didn’t get the GI bill, but did manage to get VA healthcare and a disability stipend for service connected depression.
They have a good section on assisting people file as conscientious objectors.
That was actually the very one I tried to use, it was refused
If I was in the national guard and I was going be deployed to an American city I’d refuse to go and I’d make a VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, PUBLIC stand about it until they silence me.
Or stay and gunk up, otherwise you can get loyalists.
They may feel bad but they’ll follow orders. Pardon me if I don’t care about their feelings.
In the US it was a wave of Vietnam war movies for a while that ranged from feeling bad about themselves for getting PTSD and ones trying to make it seem heroic. Also stuff like Henry Kissinger gets all the blame and practically no one else in people’s discourse. Iraq/Afghanistan haven’t resulted in the same level of woe is me the invader cinema as Vietnam did. Revisionist westerns had a good amount of the terrible toll on the mind of a colonizer as the great tragedy of the western US genocidal expansion
Reading articles like this just really make me lose faith in all of humanity. Maybe it’s a good thing they climate change will decimate humanity, even though you can bet your ass that it will be the assholes that survive
Yeah, imagine signing up for the National Guard and then having these child-fucking Confederates use you as a way of threatening normal Americans.
Any normal human being would feel a great deal of shame.
I mean as a service member, you are allowed to obey your oath and ignore the felon in office and his illegal federal takeovers. Fight it in court, you will win as the nazi’s can’t prove anything in court.
As I said months ago, current service members need to plan retirement asap to not be used as fascist tools against Americans. One can’t simply quit without consequence, but you can get out sooner than you otherwise would. Get out now before you’re deployed to a war.
54 words. The article is only 54 words. What is the point of journalism in 2025 they don’t even write anymore.
Washington Post only loads a portion of the article unless you are logged in. You need to go straight to the archive for Post articles.
you’re right.
However, when I visited the page it gave absolutely no indication anything was missing. The page looked complete. It had the comments section directly after a single paragraph.
It’s longer than that — maybe check the archive.is version?
They’re writing to the attention span of the average internet user
If you use reader mode, many articles get chopped down to the first paragraph. Maybe the rest is obfuscated by JavaScript?
Reader mode doesn’t do it. Apparently washington post has ghost paywalls where you have to pay them to learn that most of the article was missing.
