from the article:

Hegseth’s memo said that some advisory panel members who were let go might eventually be retained if it is determined after a case-by-case review that they are needed for the organizations to function.

How about doing the case-by-case evaluation BEFORE getting rid of all the people who you actually do need?

This administration is making Idiocracy look aspirational.
