The head of the Defense Innovation Unit — the Pentagon’s in-house tech incubator — has abruptly stepped down, severing a key link with Silicon Valley.

Oh, shit. They're going to install a sycophant to be the liaison between the DoD and Silicon Valley. Who's it going to be, Palmer Luckey?
Bet on it!
Now deploy some Russian
He went to work for Ukraine.
Silicon Valley would much better linking up with Ukraine!
Do the MAGA folks still think around tificial intelligence is A1
ONLY TRAITORS LEFT IN THE PENTAGON!
Headjob is a miserable prick He shouldn’t have been put in charge of running a blender He IS a clear and present danger The entire cabinet in 29’ should be thrown in a prison including the Orange dipshit
Shame, probably doesn’t wanna work with shit
This guy is so lucky that he has security with him all the time, if not, God knows what would happen
Guess his last paycheck bounced.
He probably already downloaded all the secrets he needed, and now he is going to sell them to highest bidder.
Good for him
So, happy China, happy Russia.
Look at how fucked up this Nazi is in this picture.
You’ll have to explain the significance here.
He must have stumbled upon some morals.
He probably can't wait to get the hell out of Dodge. I would think any normal, intelligent, ethical person would run for the hills rather than serve under this crooked and incompetent Administration. Certainly don't include this in your resume' if you want to be hired anywhere.
A continuing pattern of the dismantling of the USA. blog.prif.org/en/2025/03/1...
Fine with me.
Palantir, anyone?
Oh, I'm quite certain Peter Thiel & David Sacks will be more than happy to suggest the perfect person to replace him--it's not a critical personnel loss but, rather, a vitally important personnel opportunity. The candidate just needs to be able to answer the 2020 election results question correctly.
But morale in the department of War has never been better!
When one side is a knowledge based organization and the other is a drunken idiot, there is bound to be a disconnect. Let us pray: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Good.
Another win for Russia and their asset, the rapist Kegseth.
Look into his eyes! You really think he should be running the world's largest military?
NO ONE wants to work for this fool.
😂 how he’s struggling to look “tough macho” coming out of the make up room
no surprise...
#BOYCOTTPOLITICO www.techdirt.com/2025/08/25/p...
I’ll drink to that!!
Our country is becoming more vulnerable every day. Sad and scary.
Guess he's miffed that the Administration didn't offer him an ambassadorship like the other failed Trumpsters. Even Screamy Kimmy Guilfoyle got one. Easy to believe the worst is yet to come. Cracker Barrel needs an ambassador now, so, he's an available cracker...
WELL, Will you Look At That, Looks like Lil Ole Ed Coristine is Rushing to get his CV Filed!!
The poster boy for DEI pull ups
This is short sighted
Lol more like DUI
Damn this criminal regime No Justice, generations pay
Let’s hear it. People are gonna DIE !
The alcoholic Fox News host trump appointed as Secretary of Defense over the United States of America's military texted classified information to his friends has white sumpremist tattoos and allegedly raped. It has fired eight of our Generals and the head of National Security.
Tell Pete well done! How many shots of Jack Daniels did it take him to make that decision!
Maybe they'll use contractors more. Russian ones.
Petey boy will buy from, ah Russia, China what’s the big deal
This is what happens when you hire weekend FOX personalities.
Putin loves it.
Hmm? so did he realize Hegseath is as incompetent as he looks and bolted?😂
People loyal to our country refuse to work under the unqualified misfit regime of convicted felon Donald Trump.
Bye Bye
Probably tired of throwing up because of this filthy administration.
I am deeply disappointed in our military personal. I figured the Drunk would meet with a training accident in his first month. Patriotism in the US is at an all time low even in the military.
I worry How many of our military are MAGA
Matters not, they don't have the manpower to handle what they have going on in the Middle East and Trumps intimidation in Venezuela. Our military couldn't take Afghanistan in twenty years and that country is not armed. This is the most armed country on earth. Our military could not take Montana.
Good point
Houndstooth just can't keep a staff.
Must be tough working for a dumbass drunk. Or is that a drunk dumbass?😏
The DIU eh? Feels like three letters Hegseth is intimately familiar with.
Nevermind Snapchat. For now on, the DOD Secretary Pete Hegseth is sending communication by Carrier Pigeon 🐦
I guess drunk at work everyday doesn’t create standards
Village idiots running US military aka the art of ultimate self own. 😁😁
He looks like. Nazi with his tattoos . He needs to go .
he must have found his intelligence was misplaced in that nest of imbeciles...
innovation with this dumb fuq.. what an oxymoron.. wow.
Elon says : "Oh, look! An open door..."
Probably will get a manger from the June 2018, Toys "R" Us (200 Store) closures due to its bankruptcy (Trump knows all about Bankruptcy)……🤷♀️
This is serious. Very serious.
Hegseth has to be impossible to work for! He keeps losing key people. And it’s quite understandable!!
Good!👍
He must be qualified. Everyone in this administration that's qualified either quits or gets fired
Who’d have thought a tv personality with a history of alcohol abuse wouldn’t have been the best choice to lead the department of defence. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
How much Classified data has been accessed by foreign interests under Cap'n Crunch Hegseth ?????????????
Smart people no longer want to work for Trump administration. All that’s left are DUMMIES.
Saw the writing on the wall … when he realised it was in crayon … time to go.
Oh my
bsky.app/profile/abdo...
Be-jay-zuz… They’re turning the U.S. military into the Russian military: the thug military. The U.S. military has been strong because its leaders can think independently of politics. The Russian military has lost perhaps a million troops because of poor leaders.
Can the defense department even fight a war with so many generals being fired and so much of our intelligence community in disarray. The head of DNI, Gabbard, is dangerous and dismantling of different agencies is ridiculous. Secretary of Defense has a paranoia problem and no one can work with him
trump is a clear and present danger to our democracy
Let me guess... Now Thiel will step in with 'solutions'?
My thought exactly. The former head, probably pushed back too much about Hegseth's desire for a violent fascist police state.
THIS. theplotagainstamerica.com www.thenerdreich.com
And Trump won’t have a clue what happened.
True. Dementia Don Cankles MCTacotits is so cooked in the head.
Could it be because Hegseth is a douche?
😂😂😂😁
“Poor Sir Kegbreath of the Confederate templars, DC chapter…”, said no one ever.
Who could blame these people, working under incompetent management has to be extremely frustrating!
I hope a competent replacement …
So they are just gonna keep using Signal Chat, then?
PLEASE, SOMEONE BREAK HEGSETH'S NOSE!!!
Why stop at just his nose? Do both of his kneecaps too.
What did Kegsbeth do?
Can't imagine why
the ignorance and malfeasance of this administration will cripple us for decades to come
This isn’t a problem at all Petey boi will install his little brother

Drunki’n Hegseth takes another shot of Schnapps.
Cas the whole thing is a joke. Wished the Pentagon would stand up to this drunk freak
What’s going on with all the heads in DOD leaving?
No one wants to work directly for this evil, dictatorial douchebag DUI Hire.
Got tired of working for a drunk?
Smart people cannot deal with the kind of stupidity this admin has brought into govt. We need to remove the fat fascist from the oval office. IMPEACH, REMOVE, ARREST
The Democrats' war on children claims more lives ... of little kids attending Mass, no less!
Biden's shame ... too gutless to meet the families, naturally ...
Biden appointee leaves the Pentagon ... No loss ...
Leaky Pete has a new source for advanced technology and intel. Key contact: Chief of the General Staff, Army General Valery Gerasimov Soviet Ministry of Defence, located at Frunzenskaya Naberezhnaya 20, Moscow, RSFSR
Maybe he thought very hard about his life as a traitor.....
That’s because his boss is an idiot.
Heg continues on his mission to neuter the DoD.
It's a start.
I don’t think most sensible people want to be in the Hegseth sphere. They will start to stink!
And sink.
Couldn't buy into the Department of War's "hip warrior ethos"? Who could blame him?
Trump is deprofessionalizing the military. Getting rid of any leaders who might stand in the way of his agenda. Decreasing hiring standards - less qualified and less vetted. ICE has removed age requirements. This is nothing less than a coup on democracy!
politicalamericans.com/pete-hegseth...
I thought REPUBLIC-CONS were about saving money ? NOPE seems they are about hoarding money for themselves especially the evil monster himself! FACT👇👇👇 Ten of the eleven US recessions between 1953 and 2020 began under Republican presidents.
Just more witnesses, if the Democrats take over Congress.
Why is this guy managing anything more important than a Dairy Queen?
I agree!
Hey!? Dairy Queen matters - long live the Queen!! 🍦👑
I actually think a DQ manager might be better. They would likely surround themselves with intelligent experienced people so their job wouldn’t be so hard and it would make them look good. Instead we have this idiot…
Amen!
I wouldn't let him wash my car.
There’s only so much bile a man can swallow before he steps out to vomit—Doug Beck‘s abrupt exit from the Pentagon‘s tech helm feels less like resignation and more like revulsion.
I personally would not want to have been activated and deployed into US Cities. Being forced to perform actions next to obvious facists and executing patrols against Americans? Talk about low morale. Just the thought of taking up arms on our streets against Americans is vile. Lady Liberty weeps.
As a UK citizen, my question is. What the hell are you doing.
While I completely agree with you , Starmer ???
Good point.
We are losing our experts because of very unqualified creeps in our government.
And people are surprised, it gets worse everyday, I love that certain states are fighting back , well Michigan we need to go aftercthe Republicans that won't hold a town hall I can name one that is to scared to face his people Tom Berret face your constituents now
His constituents will gladly vote for him again whether he shows or not. Their aim is for continued racism to dominate every discussion anyway.
Not if I have anything to do with it , my district has went blue because of tariffs he has cause stores to close people to lose their jobs , in my district people fed up
Well considering these morons are trying to take us back to 1830 that tracks.
Hopefully more people will wise up and stop enabling this fascist takeover.
That's fine. They will just buy Silicon Valley.
Formerly worked in DoD S&T/R&D space. We emphasized "out-sciencing" adversaries. Not just defeating adversaries, but deterring, through technological superiority. Even pre-Trump, we faced real competition in the tech advantage space. Now our tech advantage is all but gone--if it remains at all.
Why is it that every time I see a picture of hegshit I want to play darts
Does not want to work for ruzzians.
Hogsbreath has his finger up his ass again !!
Every photo that publishers use is a choice.
Tired of the Bullshit who can blame them with Dewars Pete
bsky.app/profile/shan...
So much winning.
Why should he stay in government, working under the current chattering monkeys, when he can use his connections to move to the private sector and make the type of money that secures his, his wife’s and his kids’ financial futures.
Is that Petey's serious face?
Why do I feel less safe right now?
Hegseth certainly knows how to make enemies, just by being totally incompetent and prejudiced.

By Friday, the Pentagon will be singing "and the cheese stands alone"
Why hasn’t Hegseth been arrested yet?
Who's going to arrest him in this regime?
I know. I’m just stating the obvious. I guess we’ll have to wait for the new AG to bring him to justice when the Dems take back the White House.
Another slot for a Fascist to occupy. How the hell will the next administration get rid of these "sleeper cell" that will be sabotaging our government for years to come?
What next administration ... ?
One of my big fears.
Aren't they running out of Fox News hosts by now? Who will be the next person? Fox News Weather person?
The Word "Fracking" was created for scumbags like Hegseth. When will the Military leadership stand up this this incompetent Fascist prick?
what the heck took him so long
Secretary drinksalot is about as dull as it gets. Imagine Lloyd Austin or Robert Gates or Bill Cohen in the seat? Of course they’d resist criminal behavior that Secretary rapesalot is okay with so there’s that.
www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/s... Interesting
I believe Politico seriously misrepresents this story, whether on purpose or through naivete, I'm not sure. The resignation of the last Biden appointee leaves the DIU fully in the hands of companies the likes of Palantir, upping the regime's ability to weaponize technology against US citizens.
💕
Awake, my fellow Americans!
‼️
US becomes more and more vulnerable each day as people with experience and knowledge leave only to be replaced by sycophants.

Putin or Mossad can quickly fill the post
Good. And FU Kegsbreath.

Who needs advanced tech in modern war. Eggsbreath says we will win by pushups alone.
Not good
Why is this guy in charge of anything? Does anyone know? I can't trust him to be a bathroom valet handing out soap and paper towels. If good people don't leave, he fires them. Either way the lunatics are running the asylum
Chilling to say the least
What person with any self respect or half a brain could work for that loser Hegseth?
He probably found out the date the military is going to publicly declare we are now a dictatorship and all rights have been suspended. Then he left.
Better to use the old ways for war fighting anyway………..
One step closer to cementing China's global dominance ... American voters have no one to blame but ourselves for our full-speed ahead sprint into irrelevance 😑
Hegseth must be horrible to work with and for!
they are still angry about the Internet 😆
PUNK looking muthafucka 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I wonder if these guys are going to work for Canada or a European country. We are bleeding skill and expertise. This stupid regime is making us vulnerable.
LMAO
Another qualified expert fleeing the corruption!!
There's nothing going yo be anyone left to refuse Trump's illegal orders
Who needs innovation in a pussy whipped regime? Where’s JAG tho?
fired
Looks like someone needs a drink!
Oh. Well, there goes the Army Futures Command.

I can’t even look at that rapist.
Great hair though. Isn’t that his main qualification for the job?
Hegseth. All strips, but no stars. All mouth but no integrity.
White DEI douchebag running the Pentagon into the ground. Who would have thunk it?
oh no!! how is Heggie gonna get his laser facials now???? awwww poor makeup-wearing as gender affirming care Heggie.
Another reason,not that we need one,why UK & Europe need to forge their own defence capacity and capability.If we get this right, sadly by learning from Ukraine we will leave the US defense industry in the dust.Break from the US who are faux friends and untrustworthy. Make Europe Greater.🇺🇦✌️🇬🇧🇪🇺
The Republican Party is not paying our guardsmen for these fake deployments www.militarytimes.com/news/pentago...
It surprised
Classic Trump... he doesn't pay his dues!! It's all ego, bluster, and snake oil.
Trump stiffs contractor is hardly news…
Not paying your mercenaries, one of the classic blunders!
The lesson here isn’t the fucking pay @blumenthal.senate.gov
Hey! It’s a Trump operation, no one gets paid.
These Guardsmen are being used for a non emergency situation. Walking around the city when there are Metropolitan Police present, I feel taking them from areas that are suffering from the many disaster or emergencies we see is a problem. They will be spread too thin.
I do not have sympathy for lack of pay for participating in an illegal deployment.
Well what are the Options for discontented NG?
I don’t think conscientiously objecting to an illegal order is “discontent”. When given an illegal order, which policing fellow citizens in a time of NO EMERGENCY is, the military en masse must refuse to follow such an order. There is safety in numbers. Otherwise, the military looses respect.
Hi Phyllis - thanks for the response. I was thinking by the time an Illegal order has given, there would have been other questionable orders the soldiers ignored. But perhaps you’re right.
No, you’re probably right but cannot speculate on that. Anyway, to my way of thinking, the time is now for choosing the constitution over the commander-in-chief.
Exactly!
Did they ever get paid for the LA assignment??????
Yes. Just late and from the wrong fund and without relevant benefits normally accrued.
lol suckers
It's a bit cruel to condemn the N Guardsmen deployed to cities. They aren't like the Proud Boyz joining ICE so they can whomp heads. NG get called up, having to leave their regular jobs to go do whatever they are sent to do. Their domestic duties are usually helping in disasters.
That is what I thought their job responsibilities were. Shame on the president for using them incorrectly.
buddy they are the disaster
Don’t feel bad for those who are violating their oaths. They have choices just like the rest of us.
Nope. Make them all as miserable as possible. Shout them down. Call them traitors. Make those who haven’t deployed yet see what misery awaits them
They're required to say no to Illegal Orders and serve and Defend the Constitution. They are not doing that.
How are they “not doing that”? What have service members done that would be illegal or in violation of their Constitutional Oaths? Leaders would not issue illicit orders for
Unfortunately in dc Trump found a little used workaround to make his order lawful so refusing could end up in court marshal but not so in other cities its up to American citizens now to stop it there is going to be bad trouble eventually
If ever there was a glaring setup to civil war in America, ICE is it! t will all come to a boil somewhere in the streets of America, ICE will go too far, and citizens will react in kind!
Trump's "Camps" are to house the resistors.
I call top bunk.
Highball Hegsted keeps firing and chasing away those qualified people, unlike himself, who know what the hell they're doing.
The illegality of any particular order is rarely determinable by the individual service member. That's why there are lawyers who must be consulted. That is why service members are routinely trained about their duties AND obligations.
Yep. That said, most of the JAG lawyers have been removed and replaced by MAGA loyalists.
NOT line officers. Command.
Agree.
And that’s why whiskey Pete is getting rid of most senior army lawyers and replacing them with true believers
This admin is so in love w/ the lie that the highest level somehow controls everything below it that it's already functioning badly and irregularly. They can dismiss every senior JAG, every 4* General, every Cabinet Secy and it'll do damn-all. It's Sergeants who make the world go round.
So far, all they're doing is standing around, walking around and driving around. I think they aren't going to do anything agains their mission.
What happens when they don’t obey illegal orders?
"Just say NO."
Press play www.wunc.org/military/202...
Thank you for posting this. My son was a Air NG. He said it is definitely not advisable to disobey an order to deploy.
Hey, that's why you're supposed to think long and hard before signing your life over to the US Government.
I'm sure the troops that hung at Nuremberg thought the same thing
We all gotta make tough decisions these days.
Just following orders, huh? Sounds familiar. I wonder where from.
Disagree the need to obey the laws and uphold the constitution, I don’t see them doing that.
I wouldn't care to be in their shoes. The WH is being held hostage by an insane old decrepit excuse of a man. Who knows what's going happen? However if the good ones leave,then those selfsame Gravy Seal MAGAts will fill in.
Doesn't matter if there are "good ones," they'll follow orders exactly the same. I'm sure the guys who committed the Kent state massacre thought they were good guys too
Not necessarily. And if they do, then they are expendable.
"be nice to the SS they're just following orders" no I won't thanks
www.yahoo.com/news/trump-s...
Monstrous.
Pass it on.
I'm not sure.
What?! Trump's going to trump-change his workers?? The dude has been ripping off people who work for him for 4 or 5 decades. Who the f*** is surprised? He cares as much about these people as he does his gold toilet, or his wives, or his squeaky tanks in a parade. These are just show props to him.
Paying 2 billion to paint the wall black only on our side
I can see the graffiti now😆
Mexico's side is lovely with artwork. No burning hot black surface there.
I feel bad for them. Some have regular jobs, some are attending college and some have families and are being shipped to other states while pay is lagging. FBI had a mass exodus of workforce and I can see NG leaving in droves or not resigning at all. It’s a matter of time.
The guard that willingly deployed are still to be held accountable. Do not let them off the hook because they were just following orders. I served AD 8.5 years, you're allowed to question unlawful orders per the UCMJ.
Quibble: Most of the time the National Guard *aren't* covered by the UCMJ, situations like this are the exception.
I understand when they are under the UCMJ. When they are on active duty orders. Deploying to a city are AD orders.
Not to worry. The money will come out of infrastructure, healthcare, education, school lunch programs, cancer research, etc., all the programs we don't need!!
I doubt they “severed a link” to Silicon Valley! I’m sure it was BECAUSE OF LINKS to Silicon Valley that the chief tech development dude couldn’t sleep at night and left.
We should be surprised that no other country has attacked us with this idiot in charge. Destroying our security department and settings just to play like he knows what he is doing. There will be a lot to fix, and our children will carry the burden.
Wow he's creepy looking
