One of them was the US Army Chief of Staff - in other words, the head of the US Army.

WASHINGTON, April 2 (Reuters) - U.S. Army Chief of Staff Randy George was fired on Thursday by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, three U.S. defense officials told Reuters, in ‌the latest purge among the Pentagon's most senior ranks.
Even as Hegseth, a former Fox News host, has moved quickly to reshape the department, firing a general during wartime is nearly without precedent.
The Pentagon confirmed that George, who had more than a year left in his term, "will be retiring from his position as the 41st Chief of Staff of the Army effective immediately."
The Pentagon said in a statement it was grateful for George's decades of service. "We wish him well in his retirement," it said.
Two of the officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said Hegseth has ⁠also fired General David Hodne, who leads the Army's Transformation and Training Command, and Major General William Green, head of the Army's Chaplain Corps.

It looks like anyone who opposes Trump's (i.e. Israel's) insane plans is being purged.

Its quite sad. Ultimately Trump will need to be impeached and/or removed via 25th amendment.

Its really the best hope for the republican party to install JD as quick as possible to see if he can undo some of this, otherwise the mid-terms are going to be an absolute sweep.

If the mid-terms sweep D, like polls currently indicate, it wouldn't surprise me if Trump flips completely and ultimately supports whatever agenda they put forth. Something happened to him over last 8 or so months....he has come to hate his base and the reasons why they elected him.

JD is no better. American politics are morally bankrupt and we American men are cucks.

Bitcoiners crying for tax relief tells all you need to know.

Men out here shaking in their boots to send Bitcoin payments because of the IRS.

Men are more concerned then ever about the silliest of things. Spanking kids, drinking raw milk, CO2 levels, and all the other stuff alpha males didn’t even give one thought to.

Bitcoin is great but it’s just software. It’s not going to save society on its own it will take real men to make changes.

No politician can save us, however its widely reported that JD has not agreed with starting the war in Iran.

In fact, yesterday a call was scheduled between JD and the chief negotiator for Iran on how to proceed towards a ceasefire situation.....the Israelis got wind of the upcoming call and blew up the Iranian negotiators house killing his entire family.

This is the 2nd or 3rd time they have done this.

Meh it’s just a political ploy to sway the MAGA vote from JD to Rubio.

Vance is different but the single man theory is proving to fail. Trump is being and has been manipulated over and over. Vance would be as well or taken out. What is sad is how many people that should have known better jumping on the Trump bandwagon. He's now just implementing the neocon agenda without admitting it. The MIC never went away. The deep state never did either. They just adapted and are doing a great job dividing the right.

Exactly! Feels like we don’t have a way out!

I really think that local first and really family first is the only way. Then the church taking back its central position in community over government and over time the state and politics becomes smaller

Spanking kids

A man who spanks his kids is not a man. He is a coward and an abuser.

reply

Understand the difference between abuse and discipline.

Masculine men understand the difference those who can’t are cucks.

This screams as if some sociology psychology major wrote this.

And this the overall softness of men and how books like this try to science away the human condition.

That's funny. According to Wikipedia, the author is a far-right white supremacist. Don't judge a book by its cover, they say.

Being an abusive father is not "human condition". Beating and overpowering another human being way smaller than you and that relies fully on you because he has nowhere else to go, is not brave nor masculine at all.

Not all US military want to be war criminals.

@Cje95 still believes killing civilians and 'bombing them into the stone ages' is all good.

USA is a rogue state owned by Jewish bankers.

Death to the petrodollar.

reply

Wow...apparently it looks like it's now 12 generals that have been fired!

Insane. Absolutely insane.

Absolute bombshell on Fox News. An expert National Security Analyst confirms the Trump administration is completely purging the Pentagon. Pete Hegseth has fired over a dozen top generals, including the heads of the Navy and Air Force, right in the middle of a massive war.

The rumor I’ve heard that seems to make the most sense has to do with a refusal of orders to target the electrical infrastructure in Tehran, along with an un-announced plan to drop MOAB bombs on Tehran to drive a psychological point like Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Going after the innocent public is going to start WW3. Its a very immoral and stupid move.

If they actually do that, Israel will be attacked in the same way, which will then completely spiral out of control.

reply

USA is slave to Jewish bankers - war criminals.
USA lost the trade war and the Jews control of global money is under threat from China.
So Bully Boy Trump is called in by his masters the Jewish bankers to obliterate those who supply China with oil despite US sanctions.
Venezuela first.
Now Iran.
If successful in Iran, Russia will be next.
The Jewish banker who have controlled western civilisation from the shadows for centuries are facing an existential threat from China because China will not be their debt slaves.
This is WW3.

reply

The Generals were fired for insubordination, not because they are 'conscientious objectors' as OP suggests

reply

Everyone keeps jumping to theories (Iran, neocons, etc.), but the reporting is more specific than that.

The issue isn’t “why were they fired.”

It’s how the selection process is being changed.

Promotion system:
board → Joint Chiefs → SecDef → WH → Senate

That system is supposed to be merit-filtered, with removals tied to cause.

But the reporting here shows:
– candidates removed without investigations
– intervention inside the pipeline
– and screening tied to alignment (policy, admin ties, DEI association)

Also worth noting:

Multiple officials raised concerns that some of the officers being blocked were women and Black officers, without misconduct issues.

That may or may not be the full explanation.

But it’s part of the reported screening criteria.

If you ignore that and jump straight to geopolitics, you’re skipping the core question:

What criteria are being used to decide who advances?

Because once that filter changes, outcomes are downstream of that.

Only controversy should be why it took so long to fire someone nominated by Biden

Or they thought the Apache Kid Rock jerkoff should be investigated....

Edit: shit, they actually dispel that theory in the article. Not sure if that impresses me or makes me more sad.
