Hegseth’s seeking to fireplace a bunch of veterans from the Pentagon

Pete Hegseth has been a busy man since ditching his position as a weekend speak present host to develop into the least certified secretary of protection in U.S. historical past. Now that the veteran and accused rapist is absolutely into the swing of his job, he has determined—like lots of his colleagues—to put off a bit of his workforce.

On Tuesday, a senior official on the Pentagon informed reporters that the Division of Protection would expect civilian job cuts between 50,000 to 60,000. Whereas the official couldn’t give an actual quantity, they agreed that it’s seemingly that 1000’s of army veterans shall be among the many civilians dropping their jobs. As of 2021, nearly 46% of the division’s civilian staff are veterans.


Demonstrators rally in help of federal employees outdoors of the Division of Well being and Human Providers, Feb. 14, 2025, in Washington. 

As for the job cuts on the Pentagon, the best way issues will go down is a part of a three-fold plan. A few of these job losses embody these “fork in the road” staff who willingly resigned via Elon Musk’s so-called Division of Authorities Effectivity buyout provide earlier in 2024. 

In response to the Related Press, the Pentagon solely allowed a sure variety of staff to just accept the buyout provide. Some had been denied acceptance on account of nationwide safety causes or to be sure that too many individuals in a single workplace didn’t depart. After they depart, these positions will merely be dissolved. 

One other manner they’re searching for to make these huge job cuts consists of firing probationary employees. This tactic is already hitting authorized obstacles via the courts. 

As Every day Kos beforehand reported, two judges dominated final week that Trump’s haphazard firing of probationary staff was unlawful and ordered their jobs be provided again. Now the administration is scrambling to make amends to over 24,000 probationary staff, which has not been a clean course of. 

The third manner the Trump administration is attaining cuts is just by not filling positions when staff routinely depart. 

A supply informed AP that Hegseth—a person who doesn’t imagine germs exist as a result of he “can’t see them”—doesn’t intend for these job cuts to influence nationwide safety or army readiness. Nevertheless, given Hegseth is a person who actually needed to promise to not drink with a view to get the job, the state of affairs is wanting dire. 

Extra so, the Trump administration has already smeared egg throughout its orange face since Jan. 20 by firing staff who oversaw the nuclear weapons stockpile. They’ve additionally needed to shortly retrace their steps after they by chance fired specialists who had been preventing the continuing chicken flu epidemic within the U.S.

Trump appears to be utilizing his loyal fan base—re: Cupboard members—to hold out his plan to dismantle the U.S. authorities. 

And whereas some individuals can see the writing on the wall for why firing tens of 1000’s of Pentagon employees amid rising world tensions may be a foul concept, all we are able to do is sit again and look forward to them to retrace their steps.
