Hegseth's tenure has been marked with . . .

 abrupt firings,

personality clashes,

threats,

other dysfunction.

An early choice Hegseth

made for "Chief of Staff"

was JOE KASPER

who voluntarily departed

for return to work in the 

corporate world.

Hegseth and Buria have repeatedly

clashed with top generals and

admirals serving in some of the

senior-most positions.
