Accepting the departure of Fulcher in a text message for the Washington Post, a Pentagon spokesperson told The Post that it was “not appropriate” to mark Fulcher’s departure as firing, saying that former senior colleague is a “great person”.
Their departure comes in the midst of the widespread reshuffle of senior personnel inside Hegseth’s office. Since January, at least six colleagues have been abandoned, although defense authorities have reduced steps as standard infections.
It is not clear what the next step of Fulcher will be, although his statement suggests that he intends to be active in national security circles. The Pentagon has not yet named a replacement.
