Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : 'We are incredibly disappointed by the manner in which our service at the Department of Defense ended,' Caldwell posted on X. 'Unnamed Pentagon officials have slandered our character with baseless attacks on our way out the door.' Caldwell and the others added: 'We still have not been told what exactly we were investigated for, if there is still an active investigation, or if there was even a real investigation of 'leaks' to begin with.'
19% : Writing an op-ed for Politico on Sunday, Ullyot knifed his old boss and exposed the chaos currently unfolding inside the Pentagon - before sharing his belief that Donald Trump should fire Hegseth himself.
18% : John Ullyot (pictured), a former Pentagon spokesman and close ally of Pete Hegseth, is airing out dirty laundry about a 'full-blown meltdown' that his old boss should be terminated for Writing in an op-ed for Politico Sunday, however, Ullyot says those cuts won't be the first and could and in his opinion, should end with Donald Trump firing Hegseth (pictured) himself
9% : However, the 'month from Hell' that Hegseth has suffered has forced President Trump to see his Defense Department focus 'no longer on warfighting, but on endless drama.' Hegseth (pictured right) was one of President Trump's (pictured left) most controversial Cabinet nominees Ullyot (pictured) warned of further chaos to come: 'There are very likely more shoes to drop in short order, with even bigger bombshell stories coming this week, key Pentagon reporters have been telling sources privately' Ullyot concluded by saying that he and many of those closest to Hegseth will 'applaud quietly' if Trump fires him.
