The Post noted that while moving historical items such as the globe is normally “a deliberate process overseen by trained curators,” Hegseth’s staff dispensed with such formalities and attempted to move it by themselves.

The staffers subsequently dropped the globe, cracking its shell and creating a gash several inches wide.

The globe is big and is in a heavy solid wood cradle that allows the globe to be spun in any direction. The dimwits tried picking it up and carrying it and couldn't keep it up (probably office staff instead of military personnel, lol) so they dropped it instead. The globe crashed down into the twisty-pin thing at the bottom that helps it rotate and the globe broke.
