I might give him a pass, as he might fear being confused with the various Sylvia Gavins of the world.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired the Pentagon's top military planner as President Donald Trump considers renewed strikes on Iran following next week's midterm elections.
Army Lt Gen Brett Sylvia was removed as head of strategy, plans and policy on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, after he reportedly leaked classified information about the war in Iran and the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Did that officer think that illegally sharing secrets was a good thing??>? What an absolute idiot. He needs some time in Leavenworth at hard labor.
Check it out from 2025, she’s such a good investigative journalist:
Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer
NEW:
Meet Gavin Sylvia. A “He/Him” who displays his pronouns in his bio.
He is currently employed as a data analyst with @fema, a DHS @DHSgov agency.
Yesterday, he posted on Instagram, “Half mast for the literal racist homophobe misogynist?? bffr”. This was his response to Charlie Kirk being assassinated.
BFFR means be f**king for real.
His father is a Major General in the United States Army and currently serves at the Pentagon. He was nominated for a third star by Joe Biden.
Gavin’s brother is married to a Muslim woman.
He made a post with his grandmother pretending to vomit on the Trump Tower sign in New York.
These people hate us. They don’t belong near the levers of our National Power
@Sec_Noem @SecWar @Sec_Noem
Please fire Gavin Sylvia, @Sec_Noem! @DHSgov
@PeteHegseth should also review the employment of Gavin’s father, MG Brett Sylvia.

Lieutenant General
Can’t say enough about old Pete. He’s the right man at the right time.
Yeah, the author, Melissa Koenig, needs to grasp that there’s a world of a difference between a lieutenant and a lieutenant general.
Yes. The headline should have read “General” instead of “lieutenant.”
Yes, the headline was VERY poorly written.
Make an example of him. Charge him with treason.
He wasn’t a lieutenant he was a general.
Son not song.
SMDH! Yes daily mail sucks but ho lee crap. Header says lieutenant and body says Lt General. BIG difference. As for sylvia, if he leaked info....gotta go. Probably something in UCMJ addressing that. Just a guess. Any JAGs want to weigh in?
“...each of whom should know better.”
Odd way to put it. “Should”???
Of course they know better, and know precisely. That is why they did it surreptiously. They have the mindset of traitors.
If he leaked he should be Dishonorably Discharged!
Did that officer think that illegally sharing secrets was a good thing?
If this Gen’rl actually leaked such data and is not court martialed, this is all virtue signaling by Hegseth. If he put US citizens in danger put him in prison or just shoot him.
