Recent firings of three Pentagon aidesâDan Caldwell, Darin Selnick, and Colin Carrollâwere revealed to stem from a bureaucratic turf war. The terminations followed a leak investigation initiated by Joe Kasper, former chief of staff to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who felt his responsibilities were being undermined by Caldwell and Selnick. Despite claims of being targeted for policy views, sources indicate that the conflicts were rooted in personal dynamics and managerial effectiveness. The situation highlights internal struggles over roles within the Pentagon rather than significant policy disputes.
The dismissals were fueled by a bureaucratic turf war over responsibilities and personal conflicts, rather than substantial ideological differences as previously suggested.
Sources indicate that the terminations followed a leak investigation ordered by Joe Kasper, who felt threatened by his coworkers' expanding roles.
