Fox News Link

quote:

War Secretary Pete Hegseth asked Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to step down and take immediate retirement Thursday in a sweeping leadership shakeup as the U.S. military remains engaged in combat with Iran. A senior War Department official told Fox that Hegseth called George Thursday and asked for his immediate retirement, saying, "It was time for a leadership change in the Army."


Wonder what this was about?

Edit: Chief of Staff of Army…my bad

I wonder why he was fired? One could speculate that he’s not supportive of the WH plans. I wonder what those might be?

First of all he was a Biden hold over. Secondly it was a 4 year billet that he has been in longer than 4 years. Are you for career military generals being in 30+ years and not retiring?

Seems like odd timing to make a time and grade firing, don’t you think?

And sliding into that particular condition or state of affairs brings you joy, I see. Totally normal, nothing to see here.

He ignored the pleas from a 24 year old soldier who he forced to take the jab .... and she subsequently had three heart attacks from blood clots.

Loomer took her plight to Hegeseth, Hegeseth confirmed it ... and shite canned the General, who was a Biden appointee.

No offering of why you think that or what he’s actually done, just fee fees and some big words.

I personally find you to be a **** for degrading someone who is attempting to make our military into what it should have always been, non-neutered, fierce, capable. Not a social experiment where the rest of your **** friends can feel good about themselves and pretend they can offer society anything.

The best part is the OP is prior military and knows the avg billet in the military is 3 years and that generals work for the SECDEF and President.

And fwiw Hegseth thanked him for his service and he will be earning his retirement.
