Hegseth purges military leadership

General George was asked to retire 'effective immediately,' cutting short a tenure that was expected to last until next summer.

This dismissal is the latest in a series of high-level removals overseen by Hegseth since he took office.

Sources suggest the Defense Secretary is seeking leaders who will more aggressively implement the president's agenda.

The shake-up comes at a critical time as the United States remains deeply involved in the conflict with Iran.
