The Daily Mail reported Wednesday on a plot by a group of military officers and civilian Pentagon staff to force Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth out of office through a public pressure campaign based on a letter signed by Pentagon insiders.
Citing the usual deep state concerns about Hegseth’s leadership, priorities and performance, three of the coup plotters spoke on background to the Daily Mail about the scheme (excerpt from long detailed article):
Three Pentagon officials — two military and one civilian, and each with at least 20 years in the department — spoke on the condition of anonymity.
…The three Pentagon officials we spoke with told us that a small group of their colleagues — including officers from all military branches except for the Coast Guard — and some civilian workers met at a private home in May to discuss how to get the word out about what they view as Hegseth’s incompetence.
They agreed the message would be stronger coming from current rather than retired DOD personnel.
Attendees jointly decided to give themselves a few months to agree on the wording of a joint letter that they would either send to the news media, run as an ad in a major newspaper or launch online via social media or a newly created web site.
They set a deadline for mid-July — this week — to finalize the letter so it could be made public by next Friday, the 25th, which marks Hegseth’s half-year in office.

“ dishonorable discharge.”
And all benefits forfeited.

That’s how it was supposed to end. But Trump came alone and kicked over their applecart. For now.
Is that treason? If they are in the military and they deliberately try to damage civilian control and chain of command?
Can’t they just be tried by a tribunal and sent to Leavenworth ?
The Cold War ended in 1991. We should have reduced the size of our military by 50%, focus mostly on the Navy and the Air Force.
Dismantle our intelligence agencies. East Germany dismantled the Stasi in 1990. We should have done the same. Shredded all the documents and everything.
100%
Sort of like Britain and the Krauts.
I'd bet whoever has been paying these guys under the table has ordered them to try this.
Why else risk their retirement and reputation?
No names = no credibility.
Grow a pair of balls! Instead of cowering behind press coverage, retire or quit and then protest what you disagree with. Trump is right to cull the agencies and departments of wastrels who’s only purpose is to suck off the teat of taxpayers.
Firing squads
PLEASE publish a letter all you active duty geniuses…too principled to resign we guess
PLEASE PLEASE
Secty Hegseth can change your lives from the misery of further service
We cant wait to meet you
There are a lot of organ grinders who could employ these monkeys.
“”They set a deadline for mid-July — this week — to finalize the letter so it could be made public by next Friday, the 25th, which marks Hegseth’s half-year in office.””
Color me paranoid, but.... this is making me wonder why they feel the need to get Hegseth out right now. What might they be planning ...that a loyal pro-Trump SecDef might pose a problem for them? With all of this stuff coming out about Obama and the DS goons, I’m getting nervous.
Gunny.
So many teasonists, so few firing squads
spoke on the condition of anonymity.

No better than the 51 IC traitors .
But for active duty senior military officers (or any officers, for that matter) to conspire against the SecDef is a clear violation of the UCMJ for which they can be prosecuted.
Every week that traitorous faggot Matt Drudge has a fake headline about how Pete Hegseth is “on the verge of collapse” at the Pentagon because everyone hates him there. Politico also runs such nonsense all the time. He is so threatening to them it’s unbelievable.
