US Army Secretary Driscoll resigns after months of friction with Hegseth

US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has submitted his resignation to the White House after months of tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Driscoll, known for his alignment with Vice President JD Vance, is the latest high-ranking official to leave Hegseth's administration, joining those who have been fired or forced out.
