The Department of War, through an account identified as TheIntelFrog, unequivocally reaffirmed its full support for Admiral Mitch Bradley on December 2nd, 2025, stating he is an American hero and a true professional. This statement, issued between 2:46 AM and 3:16 AM UTC, directly addresses recent controversies surrounding combat decisions, including a September 2nd mission, and asserts that America is fortunate to have such men protecting it. The Department of War's statement emphasized its commitment to supporting its warriors, stating, "When this [@DeptofWar] says we have the back of our warriors - we mean it." This comes as Pentagon officials, in previous reports, expressed dismay over a White House statement by Leavitt that they felt singled out Admiral Bradley and marred his reputation. One official reportedly stated Leavitt's remarks were akin to "throwing us, the service members, under the bus." Separately, FBI Director Kash Patel, in a post on X dated December 2nd, 2025, between 2:46 AM and 3:16 AM UTC, commented on domestic terrorism arrests being up 30% this year. Patel also made a remark about wearing a women's medium jacket, while expressing a wish that his focus would be on stopping rampant domestic terrorism on his watch. Previous reports from December 2nd, 2025, indicated that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was facing calls for resignation or firing due to his handling of "disastrous and illegal Venezuela strikes." These reports also detailed alleged plots within the Pentagon to remove Hegseth, with individuals in Army Secretary Dan Driscoll's office reportedly orchestrating his dismissal, potentially involving Jake Sullivan planting stories to support Driscoll. House Democrats, led by Hakeem Jeffries, have indicated they do not expect to pursue impeachment proceedings against Hegseth, suggesting a "meaningful investigation" is more likely.
