White House Under Fire For Sharing Image Of US Special Forces’ Faces: ‘Could Put Their Families In Danger’

The head of a special operations organization is slamming the White House for handing Hamas terrorists a “huge propaganda win” by doxxing members of an elite Army Special Forces unit operating in Israel.

David Cook, the executive director for the Special Operations Association of America, in exclusive comments provided to the Daily Caller, described the flub as a “horrible” security failure that could destroy the lives and/or careers of those who were outed.

“The risk is high,” Cook told the outlet. “These guys that got pictured, it could ruin their careers. They could put their families in danger. It could put them in danger.”

The White House was first called out on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, for posting a photo to their Instagram account showing President Joe Biden shaking hands with what was described as “first responders.”

Journalist Sam Shoemate posted the image on X, but placed black boxes over the faces of four individuals he described as members of “Delta Force.”

The White House did not obscure the faces in their post, which remained on Instagram for roughly an hour.

Shoemate described the incident as “a massive failure” by the Biden administration.

‘We Regret The Error’: White House Admits Doxxing Special Forces

The White House was widely ridiculed following accusations of doxxing a Special Forces team working in a war zone in Israel.

“So funny that the ‘Adults in charge’ are so on top of things they doxxed one of our most elite fighting forces in the midst of their deployment to the Middle East,” the Republican National Committee’s Alec Sears wrote.

“Is the White House really this stupid or are they just trying to get people targeted?” Fox News contributor Sara Carter asked. “This is totally unacceptable.”

Videomaker Benny Johnson added, “Letting Joe Biden run this country is a national security risk.”

An accurate statement even prior to the doxxing of a Special Forces team.

For their part, the White House admitted to the huge mistake, but did so issuing a statement that differs very little from a company erroneously sending out an email or mislabeling the cost of one of their products in a sales ad.

“As soon as this was brought to our attention, we immediately deleted the photo,” a spokesperson told Fox News. “We regret the error and any issues this may have caused.”

Oopsie. Our bad.

Huge Propaganda Win For Hamas

Cook’s comments to the Daily Caller reveal the gravity of the situation that the White House’s “we regret the error” apology fails to convey.

“I don’t even know what to say. These are horrible operational security failures,” he said.

And while he acknowledged that mistakes of this nature happen from time to time, necessitating an organization like his, it doesn’t take away from the serious nature of what the White House did by doxxing Special Forces soldiers.

And it won’t stop those who intend to inflict harm on Israel and their allies from using it to their advantage.

“Let’s say it was a security detail,” Cook explained. “Hamas isn’t going to delineate that — normal people can’t differentiate between a security detail and boots-on-the-ground, invasion-type stuff.”

Even if they did come to that understanding, there is little doubt the terrorist organization would use the information they glean from the image to their advantage.

“This is a huge propaganda win for Hamas,” he added.

Cook suggests that the person who took the photo “needs to be held accountable.”

We’re sure they’ll figure that out swiftly and dole out the proper punishment – just like they did with the White House cocaine culprit and the alleged pipe bomber on January 6th.

    This is a wonderful commentary on the current western governments.
    That service members and police should not be identified because it puts their families “at risk”.
    Remember when police were proud to be police and did not skulk around hiding their disgusting profession. I remember when getting my uniform and paratroop wings were the proudest achievement of my young life. I was not ashamed to be a special force soldier, even my family were proud.
    IF what you are doing is honourable you have no need to hide.
    “Ah, but there’s the rub.”

    This is to be expected. The entire Biden administration was not appointed because of their capabilities, but because of their sexual identity. They were trying to make a point, and they did.

    Obumnuts did the same thing to the Seal Team that git Bin Laden. They all ended up dying under mysterious circumstances. Biden’s got to go, one way or the other.

    If you look at everything going on in our country, it is not by accident. There is a reason for everything! It is planned. Just think ‘what is the reason?’

    How long are we going to allow the “ lunatic in charge” stay in our White House? I think that snake Gaetz had mcCarthy removed from the speakership so congress can’t proceed with the impeachment inquiry against Biden. Wonder how much the demonrats paid him to do that? Big bucks I’m sure! Now, the twenty idiots holding up the votes for Jordan are following the demonrats agenda to get Jeffries in as speaker. They should be charged with insurrection and treason and prosecuted accordingly. They should be expelled from congress post haste! We do not need traitors like them in our congress! Biggs and crane, are you listening? You will be gone come election time, good riddance!

    The Jackass in Chief need to be gone. Considering this moron’s latest members of his pathetic administration, this was not an inadvertent decision….this is why he hired them…

    He just potentially murdered United States Special Forces members and their families! How many hollow headed Democrat fools will continue to support treason? Did this move finally penetrate the ultra thick skulls of the RINO house members? Where’s the impeachment???????
