uploaded digital pictures of their deployment to a website that was supposed to be secure that got breached.
And so these pictures went out over the internet.
And the pictures, so I'm there when the CNO is calling the Admiral to ask him about each of these individual pictures, what is going on in these pictures.
And implied in that was like, what is wrong
with your troops.
Example, there's an image of a guy, an Iraqi guy, he's being held by the jaw and he's got a pistol to his head with a flashlight in his eyes.
And so he knows like, what is going on in this picture?
And the Admiral like hits the mute button.
And I'm like, sir, they don't like to have their picture taken.
So you got to face the picture to the camera.
You got to face their face into the camera.
And the light is so that you can illuminate the camera.
You can illuminate the picture.
That's why the closest flashlight he got is his pistol.
That's what he's doing.
Boom.
Admiral tells him what's going on.
Next picture.
A guy with a sandbag over his head, cuffed, blood coming out of the sandbag.
What's going on with this picture?
