🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Hegseth gutted offices that would have probed Iran school strike — POLITICO

The number of Pentagon employees who focus on mitigating civilian casualties has dropped from 200 people to less than 40.

“The Pentagon chief last year slashed offices that didn’t contribute to his goal of “lethality,” including the group that assists in limiting risk to civilians, known as the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence. Around 200 employees who worked on the issue, including at that office, have been reduced by about 90 percent, according to two current and former officials and a person familiar with the effort. The team that handles civilian casualties at Central Command, which oversees the Middle East, has dropped from 10 to one.”
