"The broad escalation of military engagements with Iran, highlighted by the major airstrikes in Event 7, created the operational conditions and subsequent criticism of military management (overwork) that prompted the political appointment in the new event."
"Both events describe internal US political and administrative instability within the Pentagon (Navy Secretary nomination due to overwork and Army Secretary resignation) directly attributed to the strain of the ongoing protracted conflict with Iran. They represent concurrent symptoms of the same systemic pressure."
