“The long knives are out at the Pentagon. We have in recent days seen the ouster of some of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s top aides, including at least one leading voice for foreign-policy restraint within recent days. But the real target is clearly Hegseth himself. ‘If Mr. Hegseth is wise,’ the Wall Street Journal editorial board advises, ‘he’ll use the staff shakeup to hire some loyal grownups who know the building, instead of the self-promoting isolationists he first brought in.’ The end result of the shake-up could be that Hegseth is isolated himself. … President Donald Trump’s support is, and will continue to be, decisive.” (04/23/25)
