Bleeding officials from the Pentagon

The Pentagon’s top official in charge of personnel and readiness resigned from his post on Friday after a little over a year on the job, making him the second top official this week to say they would step down.

"Today, I accepted the resignation of Jimmy Stewart, who has been performing the duties of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness,” Defense Secretary Mark Esper said in a statement.

[...]

Esper called that role “critical to the National Defense Strategy, in support of our families and readiness” and praised Stewart for leaving retirement to take on the job “after having served 37 years in the Air Force.”

[...]

Air Force Under Secretary Matthew Donovan will take over as acting under secretary of Defense for personnel and readiness, according to the statement.

Stewart’s resignation comes a day after the Pentagon confirmed that its that its top Asia policy official, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs Randall Schriver, plans to leave the department after being in the role since January 2018.

  The Hill
The Dems in 2020 ought to make repeated references to how many of Trump's top officials in all agencies have left the administration.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
