Watched it on Special Report/Bret Baier. He locked horns with Pete Hegseth and wants JD to run for POTUS. The fact that he resigned means he’s true to his beliefs or not subordinate. Either way is ok.

🚨 BREAKING: Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll has RESIGNED, per Fox

This comes after MONTHS of butting heads with War Secretary Pete Hegseth over the firings of many top Army Generals

Driscoll is a close ally of VP JD Vance, and was expected to stay around until at least after the midterms. pic.twitter.com/oAXmLpd1hG— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) August 31, 2026

Jake Sullivan is best friend of Driscoll.
This guy is not appropriate for this job.
This is a win.

Dan Driscoll was close friends with the Vindmans who helped orchestrate Trump’s 1st impeachment.

Make of that what you will.

“””Dan Driscoll was close friends with the Vindmans who helped orchestrate Trump’s 1st impeachment.”””

Makes me wonder how he got the job in the first place.

I trust Hegseth’s firing of bad Generals, and I think this guy is friendly with the treasonous, pasty-faced, doughy, Vindmann tribe.

Good riddance!

I think Trump has a higher turnover, because he chooses people who have independent incomes of the government. They have other lives that they have to attend to eventually.

At those levels, I think it can be hard to tell who is aligned with who.

Almost everyones loyalty has a price.

I don’t want to swim in that ocean.

“Not sure what to make of this.”

He was a REALIST, as opposed to a Neocon. I guess he told the truth one too many times.

It's clear Hegseth is the problem. Not all these generals.

“””What does it tell you about Vance?”””

It makes me think his judgement isn’t so good.
