Former Air Force secretary: Hegseth’s Pentagon ‘dysfunctional’

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Kendall, who served under the Biden and Obama administrations, for his assessment of Hegseth’s handling of the military and the Pentagon. The former secretary accused the Pentagon chief of doing “active harm” to the department.

“In a word, it’s dysfunctional,” Kendall continued. “I’ve worked with and had a chance to work for maybe a dozen secretaries of Defense. He’s doing active harm to the Department of Defense. It’s not passive. It’s active harm.”

The ex-official said the “enormous damage” to the department will take several years “or decades to go repair this and restore the type of system that we have had traditionally.”
