Pete Hegseth Removes Military Leaders
Pete Hegseth has removed approximately 21 generals and admirals from their positions during a 14 to 16 month period. Removed officials include the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the Secretary of the Navy. Other dismissed roles include the Army Chief of Chaplains, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the Army transformation and training head. The civilian Secretary of the Navy and Army General Randy George have been fired. These removals are noted as unusual because they are not occurring due to the conduct of ongoing wars.
