Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, September 01, 2026

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is resigning, the White House confirmed Monday, after months of friction with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. A source familiar with the matter told CBS News that Driscoll had brought up to the Trump administration his concerns surrounding the Army's transformation efforts and the fact that Hegseth has pushed out some of the generals who were responsible for the transformation. Driscoll is the latest high-level military official to exit. Navy Secretary John Phelan left his role earlier this year, with Mr. Trump saying Phelan "had some conflicts with some other people."

If DJT isn't a Russian plant, he's the next best thing... the US is fading faster than I personally ever thought possible.

He's like, "Here, GW, hold my beer!".

The US had a good run. In the end capitalism corrupted it.

The downfall started with Citizens United which allowed open bribery in the form of Super PACs.

Once the corrupt dotard found out how to maximize he families through the use of PAC's, crypto and nowadays just outright bribes and stock market manipulation it just accelerated.

Yeah, the US is accelerating towards failed state status.

Even the lackeys are bailing while only the biggest idiots like Hegseth hold on.
