Hegseth Targets 7 More Officers as His Frustrated Army Secretary Quits

Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll has resigned following months of internal clashes with Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth. This departure follows Hegseth's removal of senior officers and the blocking of promotions, affecting approximately 10 percent of the military's top leadership. While the White House praised Driscoll for advancing President Trump's agenda, Senate Democrats warn that these cuts have hollowed out the Army's senior ranks, potentially creating a leadership crisis while thousands of US soldiers remain deployed in the Middle East.
