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.

Handy of them to identify themselves so they can be discharged.
Transfer them to North Alaska
Eisenhower would have liked Hegseth.
the fact they’re trying to push him out shows they do not belong in their positions nor do they deserve their rank.
it’s the chain of command in a civilian run military.
if they think they can oust the sec of defense whose been appointed by the President of the United States... then they need to be shown the door.
obviously they’re hyper political and hard left.
I would think Pete would take this as a badge of honor. He can simply turn around and say check out my recruiting numbers
no. they’re working to overthrow their chain of command.
dishonorable discharge.
And prison time.
Hegseth left Billion$ and Billion$ of US military equipment for the Talibunnies?
Who was the last President in charge of the civilian run military?
Eisenhower?
They got rid of Nixon when he started trying to do his own thing.
I want to see them on a patrol near the Polar Bear sanctuary. Bears gotta eat!
Followed by a stay at Leavenworth.
Ball-less wonders. They can’t even decide who should sign the letter. Put up or shut up.
Mutiny?
I’m confident our government had been hijacked by globalist, communist etc. Prior to the Trump era they were basically running a shadow government and there is no doubt parts of it are still operating.
I think there are 2 uniformed “Pentagon officials” who will be retiring very soon. The civilian will simply get canned.
It's been that way since forever. One of the unintended consequences of the "Cold War". We were able to beat the Soviets. Only to end up communist ourselves at the end.
The writer a former freeper isn’t one for lying
Yup. If you cannot subordinate yourself to the civilian leadership, get out.
These the people who brought us the disgraceful and disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal griping about the “competence” of those who brought us Midnight Hammer.
