Hegseth purges Army leadership

General George was reportedly asked to retire 'effective immediately' despite being expected to serve until the summer.

The move has sparked concerns among senior officers regarding the potential politicization of the military during an active conflict in the Middle East.

Hegseth has also intervened in over a dozen senior promotions, allegedly targeting officers based on race, gender, or perceived political affiliations.

Christopher LaNeve has been named as the likely successor to lead the Army through this transition.
