The Pentagon is experiencing significant upheaval as multiple high-ranking officials, including Pete Hegseth’s chief of staff Joe Kasper, have left their positions amidst allegations of leaking sensitive information and internal power struggles. Reports indicate that several aides have been fired following a broad leak investigation, resulting in claims of slander from those ousted. As part of efforts to stabilize the situation, the Pentagon has announced new senior staff appointments. This recent exodus, with at least five senior officials departing in rapid succession, underscores a chaotic atmosphere within the defense department, with calls for accountability and a questioning of the motives behind recent dismissals.
