Hegseth's Pentagon purge deepens

General Randy George was reportedly asked to step down amid what insiders describe as a 'paranoid' atmosphere at the Department of Defense.

Hegseth is also facing backlash for invoking religious rhetoric to justify military operations, a move rebuked by the military's top Catholic archbishop.

Sources suggest the purge may be targeting senior female and minority officers, raising concerns about discrimination.

Despite the internal turmoil, the administration is seeking a record $1.5 trillion for defense spending in its latest budget proposal.
