Joe Kasper, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's chief of staff will leave his role in the coming days for a new position at the agency, according to a senior administration official, amid a week of turmoil for the Pentagon. Senior adviser Dan Caldwell, Hegseth deputy chief of staff Darin Selnick and Colin Carroll, the chief of staff to Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg, were placed on leave this week in an ongoing leak probe. All three were terminated on Friday, according to three people familiar with the matter, who, like others, were granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue.

Hegseth's alcoholism has a lot to do with this mess. He's either drinking or recovering from being drunk. Like Trump, he needs treatment, not power.

#5: HST ordered General Eisenhower to rid the US Army of lesbians, so he asked Nell Louise "Johnnie" Phelps, a reliable WAC NCO, to "ferret out" the offenders. Ike's secretary said "Sir, my name would be on the top of that list." The SHAPE commander immediately told everyone to "forget the order." www.lgbtqnation.com

"Shaken, not stirred."
If I told those losers once I told them literally hundreds of times: "Shaken, not stirred."
How can we build the right jackbooted, slack-jawed grrrr-grrrr komando force if they can't get that right?
And, yes, baby, uh, colonel, I will take my to-go thermos shaken, not stirred.
Over and ... out.

If this keeps up, my guess is that the term "going postal" will sometime in the near future be superseded in usage by the term "going DOD"
