Without passion or prejudice, it was business as usual at the Pentagon the day after Donald Trump's historic upset in the presidential election, the Washington Examiner reports.
"It's no big deal. We do this all the time," one civilian employee told the Examiner.
The Pentagon expects and demands its employees adhere to strict rules about being non-partisan regarding its civilian commander in chief.
"I am very proud of the way each and every one of you conducted yourselves during this campaign, standing apart from politics and instead focusing on our sacred mission of providing security," Defense Secretary Ash Carter wrote to all employees, according to the Examiner.
