Pentagon in Turmoil: Hegseth’s Staff Purge Sparks Outrage
Following an investigation into leaks, three top Pentagon aides were placed on leave and subsequently terminated, with some intending to sue for wrongful termination. Simultaneously, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s chief of staff resigned, though remaining within the department, amid reports of personality clashes and a lack of loyalty amongst staff. These personnel changes have caused significant internal turmoil and criticism of Hegseth’s leadership, with concerns raised about the department’s functionality. The leaks themselves involved sensitive military information, including operational plans and intelligence briefings.
