Summary

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has dismissed dozens of members from key Pentagon advisory boards in a sweeping move to reshape defense policymaking.

In a memo, Hegseth addressed the widespread dismissal of former officials, industry leaders, academics and researchers in science and engineering.

The Pentagon needs “fresh thinking to drive bold changes,” Hegseth claimed. The scale of Hegseth’s clear-out is unprecedented, the Wall Street Journal reported. Elon Musk praised the "reset.”

Hegseth has accused some terminated employees of providing the press with information regarding a Signal group chat in which Hegseth sent sensitive information.

    If anyone in your family actually says that to you, you have every right to just start laughing at them hysterically. They aren’t worthy of your respect or your time simply because they’re family. If they tell you you’re being rude or inconsiderate, laugh harder. These assclowns won’t learn unless they get made uncomfortable.
