The statement is part of a public discourse about the qualifications of a political figure for a national security position. It suggests organizing a larger group to object to the officials' concerns, indicating a disagreement with their stance.

1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

   The statement does not directly cause harm but implies a challenge to the officials' concerns.
2. Principle 2:

   I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.

   The statement respects privacy but could be seen as dismissive of the officials' expertise. [-1]
3. Principle 4:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   The statement engages in dialogue but lacks constructive criticism, focusing instead on numbers. [-1]
