Hegseth purges top military brass

The Trump administration's 'Secretary of War' has begun a controversial purge of senior military officers, citing the need for a leadership team fully aligned with the president's vision.

Gen. Randy George was reportedly asked to retire immediately, with Gen. Christopher LaNeve set to take over as acting chief.

Critics within the defense establishment have characterized the move as 'insane' and potentially damaging to troop morale.

The shakeup comes as the U.S. military manages complex operations across multiple global theaters.
