The world might never have gotten the whole story.
There would have been no details of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confiding to the “Houthi PC Small Group” his minute-by-minute plan: “TIME NOW (1144et): Weather is FAVORABLE. Just CONFIRMED w/CENTCOM we are a GO for mission launch.”
No precise details about what was to happen at “1215et,” the moment when “F-18s LAUNCH.” Or that it would be “1536” when the “F-18 2nd Strike Starts.” Or that in the exact same moment the “first sea-based Tomahawks” would launch.
