That's a 20-25% loss of the brightest officers.
The Administration is trying to dumb everyone down to their level.
@TheConversationUS Doubtful if they belonged in those positions to begin with.
@TheConversationUS Our military went from being a force to being a farce in less than two years. In the bright side, we should be able to see that we don't really need to fund it anyway.

This photo does a lot to explain to me Hegseth's choices in suits (though not why he always chooses to wear them too tight).
@TheConversationUS
More like "ass ceiling," amirite?
