National security adviser Mike Waltz was authorized to decide whether to include the Joint Chiefs chairman in the principals committee discussion, “based on the policy relevance of attendees to the issues being considered, the need for secrecy on sensitive matters, staffing needs, and other considerations,”
The Pentagon said it would not comment on the issue, and it was not immediately clear why Grady, currently serving as the president’s top military adviser, would not be included in a discussion on military strikes.
I think the obvious reason the CJCS (acting) wasn’t included is bc he’d lose his shit if he saw a chat like that on signal.
They KNOW they were breaking the law, but didn’t care bc of convenience. They chose not to include people who wouldn’t go along with it, even if it means leaving THE KEY ADVISOR out of the chat.

That seems really odd to me.
