Nothing about national security is endangered.

Subs and naval ships are leaving on schedule.

Tank crews are taking part in exercises.

Fighters, bombers, and cargo planes launch on schedule.

Any Pentagon dimwit who suggests some element is screwed up....is left with chow-halls at some Army post in Texas where they don’t have enough chow-hall recruits to conduct daily meals. On this, I won’t argue....but the rest of this BS is just lame crap that some halfwit would utter.

So national security is not endangered by a CIC who abandons allies in the middle of the night and leaves billions of dollars of weapons, materiel and US personnel behind?
