American Hero Pete Hegseth slashes 60,000 Pentagon civilian jobs in massive purge sending shockwaves

Recommended Posts

Pentagon officials say Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wants to ensure cuts don't jeopardize U.S. military readiness. He was one of a handful of agency heads who told employees to hit pause when Musk last month asked 2 million federal workers to write an email about five things they did last week.  

To reach the goal of a 5% to 8% cut in a civilian workforce of more than 900,000, the official said, the department aims to slash about 6,000 positions a month by simply not replacing workers who routinely leave.

My work does this all the time. Someone retires or moves on and they just don't backfill.

I've not been a fan of all the cuts Trump and DOGE have been implementing but attrition seems an appropriate way to trim a bloated workforce

Wow, unanimous agreement from the political range of GC. Nice job, Trump and Hegseth.

So Obama authorized Microsoft to allow Chinese coders access to our military’s cloud network. Hegseth just did away with that. Fockin Obama. What a POS.

I voted for Obama twice. 

I truly thought that he'd do good things for us, and now it's all coming to light. 

Disappointing.

SOD Hegseth authorizes 600 military lawyers to act as immigration judges in order to clear the backlog of deportations. Outstanding!
