Summary

• Unclear why Kruse was fired, but he is latest official removed by Hegseth
• Democratic lawmaker slams move as politicizing intelligence
• Trump has gone after officials who are seen as at odds with him

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired the head of the Pentagon's intelligence agency and two other senior military commanders, three U.S. officials told Reuters on Friday, the latest move by President Donald Trump's administration to purge officials at the Pentagon.

Now what could possibly go wrong? When you fired intelligence agents who tell the truth, with who are too scared to and lie to you... what do you think happens?

The "yes-man" culture, where officials fear telling the truth if it doesn't align with a particular narrative, rather than on their ability to provide accurate and critical analysis.
