In the U.S., downloads were up 45% on Monday, and in Yemen, they were up by 42%. Before the scandal, Signal was ranked No. 50 among social media apps in Yemen, but it climbed to No. 9 on Monday.

thats not how the law works, there was enough information there they could probably deduce who it was by the timetable and such.

Signal Chat Leak Angers U.S. Military Pilots
“The whole point about aviation safety is that you have to have the humility to understand that you are imperfect, because everybody screws up. Everybody makes mistakes,” said Lt. John Gadzinski, a former Navy F-14 pilot who flew combat missions from aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf. “But ultimately, if you can’t admit when you’re wrong, you’re going to kill somebody because your ego is too big.”
He and other pilots said that each day since Monday, when The Atlantic published an article about the chat disclosures, had brought a stunning new revelation. First came the news that Mr. Hegseth had put the operational sequencing, or flight schedules, for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting the Houthi militia in Yemen on March 15 in the unclassified Signal group chat, which included several other senior officials.
“We intentionally don’t share plans with people who don’t need to know,” said one Navy F/A-18 pilot, who has flown frequently in missions in the Middle East. “You don’t share what time we’re supposed to show up over a target. You don’t want to telegraph that we’re about to show up on someone’s doorstep; that’s putting your crew at risk.” He and several other current and former pilots spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid reprisals from the Pentagon and from allies of President Trump"

No, before it happened. I mean honestly, what is wrong with just admitting that was a bone head move gone south?

I am not going to argue this, it's a waste of time. But every person in military who has to abide by classification regulations not only in the US, but the entire world would disagree with you Major.
And btw, "OPSEC" means a security and risk management process that prevents sensitive information from getting into the wrong hands.

if someone said, okay the attack goes through in an hour target will be ariving at maralgo." they can guess that, can't be many people traveling at that timethat were potential targets, not to mention, THAT time, how many other times were there, it's unlikly the one time they do this they got caught.

Yeah it's just another nothing burger. Just knowing that an attack is coming dosen't mean the Houthis can prepare and be ready with heavier weapons. And it's not like the targets were in the same areas they have been since 2023 because of their logistics chain, and everyone knows that you can't shoot down an aircraft unless you know the squadron name, aircraft number, pilots name and address, the crew chiefs name, the squadron mascot, and what their last meal was. And the pudding on the cake is the Secretary of Defense is the same rank I am so it was a perfect plan because I'm a genius.

After all, we got intel that "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US" and we couldn't do anything. Worthless info, really.

And btw, after being called a fool, a liar, and a hack, by the Trump admin. Prior to being goaded into publishing the chats, the Atlantic journalist reached out to the CIA, DNI, NSC, DoD, and the White House to ask if they objected to publication of full text exchanges.
The CIA asked that the name of a CIA officer be withheld.
So they literally had the name of a CIA agent in the chat relevant to a strike plan. Mistakes are made, but the arrogance coupled with incompetence is just sad.
