Excellent.
“I’m trying to figure out the why and what does it gain them to quit.”
Maybe the ones who go voluntarily will be left alone, and those who try to stick it out will get the full wrath
Don’t all these Obammy appointees wanna hang around for the Old Joe Show? I thought Trump lost, Biden won? What’s the rub??
Thanks...Civilians...Good point....didn’t even notice...
Five—not all at the five-side.
USDI Kernan was no great loss. If we can get a fundamentalist in there, we might be able to clean things up and be useful.
At first glance it would appear they are calculating that Biden will become President and are distancing themselves from Trump.
You may well be correct. Interesting development.

I think it’s more like things are coming to a head than desperation. I think they plan on fighting the deep state to stop this coup once and for all.
“I was just leaving! Pardon me!”
...office of net assessment? that’s all I care about.
otoh, there's a somewhat escalating situation in Taiwan waters, with the US conducting 'training' exercises there for the first time in years. So while the Mail article below guesses the shuffle may be related to Iran, it might not be Iran that's on Trump's mind:
I’m trying to figure out the why and what does it gain them to quit. It's most likely virtue signalling by people who want to make a statement without having to make a statement. Every (or nearly every) top civilian pentagon official already has thirty years of government service to qualify for a government pension. The only way they'd lose it is if for some reason they'd be terminated for cause, which nearly never occurs.
They're also all at the top of the government pay scale, which given their top tier insider positions will only mean they'll triple their income by going lobbyist, thinktank or defense contractor. If they stuck around, their stock could be damaged as those places are riddled with the nevertrump resistance.
Finally, if you're looking to move up in an administration change, which is right now a likely possible outcome, It's a smart way of getting your name out there by making a "principled" stand by resigning. You take a few months off, then submit your resume to the Biden transition team for an appointment position. Remember also, if Biden comes into office, there's going to be a lot of unofficial racial quotas to make staff photographs seem "diverse". If you're a straight old white guy, you better have something else to bring to the table.
These were the pending coup d’etats leaders in our military?

One step ahead of the posse...
Good riddance to bad garbage!
