Now he wants him fired for doing exactly what the job requires: cleaning out a Pentagon bureaucracy that spent twenty years losing wars and asking for more money to lose more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The generals Tillis mourns \u2014 the ones he calls &#8220;transformative&#8221; \u2014 are the same generals who gave America Kabul, endless Afghanistan, and a military that cannot recruit or modernize. They built nothing. They won nothing. When Hegseth showed them the door, the Beltway press held a vigil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Driscoll himself told the world the truth on his way out: &#8220;We made the progress we did with the support of Secretary Hegseth.&#8221; The White House called his tenure &#8220;outstanding leadership during historic military operations.&#8221; The story Tillis is selling does not match the facts on the ground.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The personnel changes Hegseth is making are not a scandal. They are long overdue. For two decades, a comfortable class of contractor-friendly generals cycled between the Pentagon and think tanks while the military rotted from within. That system is now being dismantled \u2014 and the people who built it are furious.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hegseth is transforming the Pentagon back to its original design: a war-winning machine that serves American interests, not Washington insiders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tillis just needs to go.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/my.cdm.press\/\">\u2018NO AD\u2019 subscription for CDM!
