    His removal appears to be an effort by the White House to show that it is sensitive to critics who have pointed to stumbles in the government’s early response to several national security issues, including the Ebola crisis and the threat posed by the Islamic State.

Which reinforces the idea that ISIS and Ebola were/are rational concerns for the United States and in no way was all the hype used to distract people from elections.

It appears to be that to someone, I am sure.

The removal of Hagel also appears to be a signal that Obama is invoking a gate to the Astral plane, from a certain perspective.
