I didn’t see NSA Director and Head of Cyber Command Army Gen. Keith Alexander on your military list. He is to retire in March.
John “Chris” Inglis, NSA Deputy Director, is also retiring in Jan. Richard Ledgett, “the executive in charge of matters related to unauthorized media disclosures” will replace Inglis.
And “the deputy at Cyber Command, Marine Corps Lieutenant General Jon Davis, is due to leave in June when his two-year assignment is completed.”
Maybe the three heads should be on a waiting to leave list. Three heads leaving within months of each other?

I saw the resignations but did not make the connection you did. Forced to retire? Hmmm. Possible.
Ok, I have updated the file with articles related to this. A good suggestion.
