Hegseth purges top Army leadership

The sudden removal of the Army's highest-ranking officer has sent shockwaves through the military establishment during a period of active conflict.

Insiders describe Hegseth as increasingly concerned about internal opposition to his strategic vision and his use of religious rhetoric to justify military action.

Sean Parnell, a spokesperson and close ally of Hegseth, is rumored to be the top candidate for the soon-to-be-vacant Army Secretary role.

These leadership changes come as the Pentagon admits that over 360 U.S. service members have been wounded since the start of the current hostilities.
