Task & Purpose
Hudson previously introduced a House bill that criminalized doxxing special operators and their families online but the NDAA proposal amends national security laws.
“Our special operators take on some of the most dangerous missions in the world to keep us safe.
According to the law, the definition of what is considered a “sensitive” unit or mission can be determined by the Pentagon.
Rottman said the law would apply to posts on social media or traditional news reporting that identify special operators in this category.
He also said that it could apply to special operators who talk to journalists.
