Let's hope the guy who advised Drinky Pete to wear the stars and stripes pocky hankie got the axe. Really--using our nation's flag to wipe one's brow and use as a booger vault? I suspect the drunkard's mom didn't know he left the house dressed like that...

Seems to be a significant turnover at the DoD, especially senior advisors.

What might be occurring?

Is Sec Hegseth's "but he looks great on TV" aspect overriding his apparent "but he has not a clue how to run such a large organization" aspect?
