Based on recent news it really seems as if Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, is completely and hopelessly swamped with traitors. I mean, staffers and employees of the Department of Defense who are trying to get rid of the Secretary. Everything he says and does is getting leaked to the media. They were able to gang up on and destroy one of Hegseth’s loyal staffers. It’s really interesting to watch how power dynamics in large organizations really work. It’s something I knew about already but you don’t often get to see it play out in the open like this. The man in charge of the military is literally powerless and apparently can’t even fire his enemies (I assume he looked into that option first thing). So, is the only way is to bully individuals out or come up some sort of pretense? Shouldn’t that be doable for Hegseth and Trump, though? Is it a situation where the enemies are blended in well with innocent employees? Is it really that something is stopping him from just wiping them out wholesale?
