The MSNBC report at the link below says this about the “resignation" of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel:
Based on preliminary assessments, this is not a “spend more time with the family” departure – this appears to be more of a dismissal.
The officials say the White House has lost confidence in Hagel to carry out his role at the Pentagon. According to one senior official, “He wasn’t up to the job.”
The reality is that Hagel (pictured) wasn’t up to the job from the start.
His performance during his confirmation hearings was dreadful and he was confirmed by the slimmest of margins.
Obama saw in Hagel a person who would carry out the decisions of the administration without question.
Now, when Hagel began to criticize the administration’s decisions on how to deal with ISIS and other threats around the world, he had to go.
