Very respected army leadership in the middle of a war. Respected leadership on both sides of the aisle in both houses. And there's deep questions about why. Many suspect that Secretary Hegseth was just trying to move people out of the way that he viewed as personally threatening to his leadership. Maybe they were being candid to him with advice that he didn't like. And so I don't think Congress is going to be in a mood to write a blank check to a leadership team, a civilian leadership team that seems so inept these days. (04:39–04:48)
