Hey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark A. Milley and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin,

‍

‍

In 2019, special operatives of yours killed dozens of women and children in an airstrike in Syria. For two years, you systematically covered it up: No one outside the Pentagon found out about it until the New York Times dug in and uncovered the truth.

Then your troops killed seven more children during the withdrawal from Afghanistan, which again you denied at first.

What gives?

You have a long history, going all the way back to Viet Nam, of deliberately concealing things. Now, We the People are drawing a red line; putting you on notice: Keep vital information secret from us and we’ll come after you with a vengeance you cannot yet imagine.
