Hegseth ousts Army Chief George

General George's abrupt departure is the latest in a series of high-profile dismissals since Hegseth took office, sparking concerns over the potential politicization of the Pentagon.

Sources indicate that the Defense Secretary has also blocked or delayed promotions for over a dozen senior officers, specifically targeting those perceived as having ties to the previous administration.

In a significant policy shift, Hegseth has also signed a memo allowing service members to request permission to carry personal firearms on military bases.

These changes are occurring while the U.S. remains deeply involved in a major conflict in the Middle East.
