Pentagon officials targeted by lie detectors
The U.S. Department of Defense, known as the Pentagon, conducted extensive investigations in August, including tests of lie detectors with approximately 50 officials from the Joint Chiefs of Staff and military leadership. This was part of an inquiry into leaks of sensitive information concerning the declining stockpiles of vital weapons and ammunition, particularly interceptor missiles and the Patriot and THAAD systems. A joint task force was also established with the Department of Justice to pursue those responsible for unauthorized disclosure of this information, with the Pentagon emphasizing the confidentiality of the investigations and the importance of securing information to ensure U.S. security. Reports indicated a sharp decrease in missile stocks, with Patriot inventories dropping below 1,000 missiles and THAAD to around 250, amid ongoing tensions with Iran. Additionally, there are accusations between President Trump and the Department of Defense regarding the actual supply and shortages of ammunition.
