A Pentagon watchdog has found that former Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's Signal chats put troops at risk, sources say. The watchdog is looking into whether the chats were used to share sensitive information about military operations.
Meanwhile, D-Day veteran Charlie Shay dies at 101. Shay was a World War II veteran who survived the Battle of Normandy and later became a decorated Medal of Honor recipient. He passed away on December 1, 2025.
In other news, a CBS News investigative team has found that certain groups are using social media to spread misinformation about the U.S. military and its operations. The investigation is ongoing.
The Pentagon has also confirmed that it is investigating allegations of insider threats within the ranks of the U.S. military. The investigation is focused on determining whether any individuals have compromised national security by sharing sensitive information with foreign adversaries.
In a related story, a new report from the Pentagon's independent watchdog agency has found that the Defense Department's cybersecurity systems are not as secure as they claim to be. The report warns that the department's systems are vulnerable to hacking and other types of cyber threats.
The watchdog agency also criticized the Defense Department for its slow response to the growing threat of cyber attacks on military networks. The report said that the department's response times were often longer than necessary, which put national security at risk.
The report's findings have raised concerns among lawmakers and Pentagon officials about the department's ability to protect its networks from cyber threats. The Defense Department has promised to take steps to improve its cybersecurity posture, but it remains to be seen whether those efforts will be effective in preventing future breaches.

... First off, Pete Hegseth thinks he can just have a convo on Signal and share sensitive info? Talk about irresponsible! I mean, come on, that's like leaving your doors unlocked for the whole neighborhood to see what you're up to 
. And now we gotta worry about our troops being put at risk? Not cool.
. Get your priorities straight, guys!
. Who leaves their networks vulnerable to hacking? These guys seem to be asleep at the wheel!
I'm all for keeping our military personnel safe, but come on! Signal chats? That's like putting out a big ol' neon sign that says "Hey, we're talking about sensitive ops here!" 
I mean, what's next? Emailing the enemy via Yahoo Mail?! 
It's just common sense to use secure comms. And while we're at it, can't our leaders just get their act together when it comes to cybersecurity? 101 years old and still finding ways to screw up 
I mean, we're talking about a guy who's trying to keep our troops safe and all that, right? So yeah, it's bad that his Signal chats put them at risk, but let's not forget that we've got watchdogs like this in place to make sure stuff like that doesn't happen again. And I'm sure the Pentagon is already taking steps to fix whatever issues were found. 
It's crazy to think about how old he got – 101? That's just wild. 
It's not like they can just delete the chats and move on, right? 
. And what's with all the fuss about sharing sensitive info on social media? Like, shouldn't that be common sense already? 
.
I don't know, maybe I'm just a skeptic, but I need to see some real change before I start celebrating.
