Hegseth ignored military officials when he slashed offices that limit risk to civilians - Politico
Overview
Hegseth moved to eliminate Pentagon offices tasked with reducing civilian harm despite strong objections from senior military officials, exposing deep disagreement over targeting rules and risk mitigation. The recent abrupt cancellation of two deployments to Europe and orders to remove personnel underscore a broader pattern of the secretary taking sweeping personnel and policy actions that have surprised career leaders. Those moves heighten concern that operational safeguards and oversight are being weakened during combat operations.
