The White House confirmed that it had accidentally revealed the identities of several U.S. special forces members for the sake of posting a photograph on Instagram with President Joe Biden.
“As soon as this was brought to our attention, we immediately deleted the photo," read a statement from the White House. "We regret the error and any issues this may have caused.”
The photograph was posted Thursday as Biden visited Israel while the country conducted a military operation to root out terrorist Hamas forces in the Gaza Strip.
"In Israel, President Biden met with first responders to thank them for their bravery and the work they’re doing in response to the Hamas terrorist attacks," the post read.
The Biden administration was immediately excoriated by critics after it posted the photograph on social media. The post was deleted after several hours.
Standard practice is for the faces of the special forces members to be blurred in officially released images so that their identities cannot be ascertained by enemies.
Oh fantastic.
If the Biden admin has ever held our Military and Veterans in high esteem, or cared about them, this Veteran has not noticed it.
Doesn’t read like an error. Reads more like this was done for good reason.
Those guys are burned now?
The only thing worse than the doxxing is to affirm it happened. Now, a new wave of interested parties will be looking for copies of that almost forgotten photo. Thanks for nothin, Joe.
That’s a fire able offense in my opinion.
This brings back memories of SEAL Team 6’s outing and a tragedy helicopter
crash in Afghanistan.
Tragedy = tragic
A lot of Dem voters use that same phrase in our country.
The Not so Controlled Idiot in Chief continues on with a oops! In the meantime it's done! No accountability with this corrupt regime.
Hmm. "The White House" blaming Biden. Interesting.
Maybe Obama has had enough of his senile puppet.
There is no space between BiXiden and Benedict Arnold.
They need a sign pointing to Biden:”The real old dumb-looking one is their leader.”
So why is this being reported?
I’m ex military...if you think the federal government cares one iota about service people you are a fool....I did my 3 active and left....I worked with dudes who pushed paper through battalion and saw and heard of the burning of up coming lifers....its all business and you don’t matter. Wake up and keep your powder dry!
I’d really prefer the accidental release of the government gunman shooting from the Grassy Knoll in 1963.
Clerk must be on the competence level of Young Frankenstein’s selection of the Abby Normal brain.
Getting those campaign images out!
Have Biden pose with members of the Special Forces! Great idea!
Impeachment worthy for Trump. An “oops” for Brandon.
Who exactly did this. The goofball press secretary? Someone on her staff? The secretary of state’s office? Who? Are all of the Biden administration’s staff working for the enemyh?
Of course..Biden has to pay his huge loan back..Just like anyone else.....Only he does it with innocent people, not cash......
