Hegseth ousts Army Chief

General Christopher LaNeve has been named acting chief of staff following the sudden removal of George and other high-ranking officials.

Hegseth's actions have drawn sharp criticism from military experts who call the repeated firing of senior officers without explanation 'unprecedented' and 'insane.' The purge has reportedly infuriated some MAGA loyalists while delighting foreign adversaries who view it as weakening the US military.

Congressional representatives have vowed to investigate the ousters, citing concerns over stability during the conflict with Iran.

The shakeup coincides with Hegseth's new policy allowing personal weapons on military bases.
