Pentagon leadership crisis deepens as Army Secretary Driscoll resigns amid Iran war

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, a close ally of VP Vance and potential Hegseth successor, has resigned, marking the most significant departure yet in a Pentagon leadership exodus. This compounds institutional turmoil as the Pentagon faces a capacity crisis six months into the Iran war, with fewer senior leaders and critical weapons. The convergence of leadership instability and wartime demands raises questions about US military readiness and accountability.
