🛑 Hegseth Cut the Teams That Protect Civilians by 90%

"Hegseth dismantled most of the Pentagon's civilian harm mitigation units — cutting headcount across a number of teams by roughly 90% to fewer than 20 staff members. Centcom's team was reduced from 10 to 1... No CHM team member reviewed the Minab site before the strike."

⚡️ Hegseth cut the civilian-protection teams from 10 to 1. Then he bragged: "No stupid rules of engagement, no politically correct wars." Those "stupid rules" were the only thing standing between a school and a Tomahawk missile. 123 children died because Hegseth wanted to look tough.
