Hegseth got rid of old top brass that were all in on DEI and tranny weirdos. Driscoll is limp wristed. Bye
Donald handpicked the guy.
He also handpicked the Navy Secretary who resigned a while back.

Erickson's newsletter this afternoon.
Dan Driscoll is out at the Department of Defense. Now, some people want to tie his departure to the leak over the weekend that admirals and generals gave the non-concur to the Secretary of Defense in his operations book, saying they don’t think we can prolong a war in Iran. I don’t know whether that’s the case or not. But Driscoll’s departure, we now know, comes after a meeting at the White House where he documented to the president all the firings of generals and admirals within the Pentagon, particularly the generals under his charge as Secretary of the Army. Driscoll and Hegseth have been at odds since the beginning. Driscoll’s close ties to J.D. Vance made Pete Hegseth suspicious, and now Pete Hegseth has his run of the Pentagon with Driscoll gone. Driscoll has always been seen by members of Congress as the adult in the room who had a steady hand, was respected by the generals, and in turn respected the generals to transform the military. Now, some of the president’s base have sided with Hegseth just because he’s the president’s guy. That doesn’t necessarily make his decisions the best. Driscoll’s concerns have been that the Secretary of Defense purged way more generals than were woke, including a number of qualified generals whose task was to bring the Army up to speed and make it more efficient at a time that we need efficiency in the Army. Driscoll expressed his concerns to the White House and directly to the president. We are led to believe that Pete Hegseth was actually undermining the transformation of the American army into a more efficient fighting force at a time where we need a more efficient fighting force to deal with China, a more nimble force that can respond more rapidly to areas. In fact, General George, who was ousted by Pete Hegseth, in large part because of his friendship with Dan Driscoll—that’s how petty this is—was one of the key elements leading the transformation of the Army. Highly respected in Congress, highly respected by the enlisted. George was pushed out, and according to multiple reports that were never really denied, it was in large part because he and Driscoll had a great collaborative relationship. We’ve got Mean Girls at the Pentagon, and we now know admirals and generals are signaling that the Army, the Navy, the Marines, they are overextended, they are overexerted, they’re demoralized, and the Navy in particular, only a quarter of the fleet is really able to be deployed competently. That’s civilian mismanagement. That’s Pete Hegseth. The president is maintaining his loyalty right now to the Secretary of Defense.

Oh, yeah, we'd much rather have POTUS Harris and SecDef Pete Buttigieg.
When are fricking imbeciles like you finally going to find a couple of brain cells to rub together long enough to realize that two separate things can be true at the same time?
Harris and Mayor Booty are baby killing, tranny loving, open border, brain dead incompetents.
Trump went back on years of promises and ot us into a fricking war with no end in sight.
There is absolutely ZERO experience in Hegseth's service record that in any way qualifies him to be SECDEF.
Seriously...fricking retards like you who immediately assume that anyone who speaks ill of Trump or Hegseth automatically therefore must love the baby killing, open border, tranny loving, Somali fraud apologist democrats are too fricking stupid to be allowed to vote.

How did anyone think Hesgeth should be in charge of the Defense Department? He was a Fox News weekend anchor. What an awful decision.

trump passed my smell test in 2016-2020. JD Vance, Hegseth, and Driscoll are looking like plants.

Anyone who complains that he fired all the best people just tells me the shite is a hit piece and Pete is doing a great job. Another indicator that he is doing a great job is all you progressive pussies getting triggered.

If you work for the federal government you may have to call it that for the time being but the legal name remains unchanged.

This idiot thinks the Navy issue he stated can be created and/or fixed in the 18 month time period Hegseth is Sec. of Defense.

Why did it get so much worse after Biden? Oh, they didn't do squat under Biden or the autopen.

The departure of Driscoll, an Army veteran and longtime friend of Vice President JD Vance, has been long rumored and comes after months of friction with Hegseth. It also comes six months into the Iran war, which shows no signs of ending.
would not be cnn without the editorializing at the end
I knew it was them before I checked.
This guy is a new hero to some here!

Well, the truth is, the military has been suffering since the Sequester. Remember that? Sequest limited government spending and guess what? GDP finally took off. BUT those cuts came from the military.
Trump I increased military spending some but not enough to recover from the sequester and 8 years of Obama. Then it went down under Biden again. Trump is now trying to reverse it with his defense appropriation request but that is really just a downpayment.
Meanwhile, the defense industries are woefully behind our needs for various reasons. I like some of what Heg has done. Definitely needed to change the attitude there. Break the culture. He's been doing that. However, my fear was that he had no executive or management experience whatsoever and frankly, I am starting to worry he is one of those whose inexperience causes him to mistrust those under him who do have expertise. I mean, we are two years into this thing . The woke generals were dismissed a long time ago. You can't tell me the current leadership is woke.

I've been military and Department of war combined for 26 years and I haven't seen this at all. I've actually seen the opposite.
