Hegseth ousts Army Chief of Staff

The removal of General Randy George has been described by some military insiders as 'insane' given the ongoing conflict with Iran.

Hegseth has reportedly clashed with senior officers over politicized promotions and the adoption of new technologies.

Major General Christopher LaNeve is expected to be named as George's successor.

The move has prompted calls for a federal investigation into the administration's management of the Pentagon and its impact on national security.
