Hegseth purges top Army leadership

The dismissal of the Army's top uniformed officer comes while the United States is actively engaged in a war with Iran, raising concerns about the politicization of the Pentagon.

Sources indicate that Hegseth has also targeted Daniel Driscoll and other senior leaders for removal as he seeks to reshape the military hierarchy.

In a separate policy shift, the Defense Secretary signed a memo allowing service members to carry personal firearms on military installations.

These actions have reportedly caused significant anger and frustration among the senior officer corps.
