The Generational Damage of Hegseth's Leadership The resignation of US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has highlighted a growing concern within the Pentagon: Defense Secretary Erik Hegseth's leadership style is causing irreparable harm to the military.
Critics argue that Hegseth's vision for a "warrior ethos" in the Department of Defense is being implemented at the expense of expertise and tradition.
Hegseth's efforts to rid the department of what he perceives as "woke" ideologies have led to the dismissal or blocking of promotions for over 80 generals and admirals, approximately 10% of the military's top officers.
