Who are these folks and what happened to them? EILIF

If I had to guess I'm guessing these folks were laid off by Hegseth

...In which case my instinct is to feel less secure, because I don't trust Hegseth's judgement at all. He strikes me as the guy who would fire someone because they had better judgement than him

Hegseth is firing anyone who isn't stupid enough to approve his ground invasion of Iran and/or is black/female
