The top two officials at the Defense Intelligence Agency said Wednesday that they will retire from those positions in the coming months, part of a leadership shake-up at an agency that is under pressure to trim budgets and shift focus after more than a decade of war, current and former U.S. officials said.
Lt. Gen. Michael T.

Thanks Nachum.
Flynn was a key player in U.S. military efforts to dismantle insurgent networks in Iraq and Afghanistan, an approach that relied heavily on combining U.S. Special Operations forces with intelligence operatives and analysts.
Did it work? Our our Special Ops members doing well? We never hear about intelligence ops, how are they doing? How are they coping under the added stress that their team could be the next Extortion 17?
No matter what this administration does the result is pure evil.
oops, forgot the quotes around the first sentence...boy I wish we could edit.
Lt. Gen. Mary A. Legere, the Army’s top intelligence officer, is considered a leading candidate to replace Flynn, and she would be the first female DIA director if nominated and confirmed.
Thank Heavens those two guys don't own the Clippers.
“If you’re not doing anything wrong, you don’t have anything to worry about.”—LTG Flynn, a few months ago when speaking to my unit about the government’s numerous, invasive surveillance programs.
I’m definitely not shedding any tears over that one.
Nope. Flynn is not a friend to Joe and Jane American.
