Summary
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has dismissed dozens of members from key Pentagon advisory boards in a sweeping move to reshape defense policymaking.
In a memo, Hegseth addressed the widespread dismissal of former officials, industry leaders, academics and researchers in science and engineering.
The Pentagon needs “fresh thinking to drive bold changes,” Hegseth claimed. The scale of Hegseth’s clear-out is unprecedented, the Wall Street Journal reported. Elon Musk praised the "reset.”
Hegseth has accused some terminated employees of providing the press with information regarding a Signal group chat in which Hegseth sent sensitive information.
And now all those fired people can be recruited by the Resistance.
I’ve heard people ask why we aren’t hearing from ex-presidents and ex-military leaders. Do you think they are just sitting on the veranda drinking ice tea and watching the sun set before Jeopardy comes on, as the greatest military in history, which they helped build, is dismantled, and being readied to be used against American citizens? The rank & file may be trained to be autonomous drones, but the leadership aren’t, and most won’t illegally follow illegal orders from Nazis, whom they take great pride in already defeating once.
When they defeat them a second time, they won’t make the mistake of leaving a pulse.
