Last night Hegseth laid off/dismissed 12 generals including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Probably more to come if they refuse to do maga's bidding.

In a nation at war getting rid of the trained professional is beyond stupid,

Several leaders have interfered with professional soldiers with catastrophic results.

Old saying I heard while I was in the US Army: "Will the next Yes man stand up please". Keep firing them until a "yes" man and now woman stands up. Maybe SOW-former Fox News Host and accomplished Army Reserve Captain will promote himself to JCS and run the entire show?

On another note two USAF aircraft were shot down over Iran. I thought "we have control of Iranian airspace" means our aircraft do not get shot down? As always USAF PJ's (Pararescuemen Jumper) did recover one of the pilots but at the current time one is still unaccounted for. The last place I would want to eject over is Iran. Good luck to him or her.

First Trump destroys the USA's public social welfare and health systems.

Then Trump breaks relations with all (bar Israel) the USA's long-time allies and friends.

Now, Trump is destroying the US military - China, North Korea and Russia will be celebrating.

Why has Trump not be removed for acts of treason?

It’s alarming to see that individuals are no longer receiving essential Social Security checks or Medicare insurance. As a result, countless senior citizens are left homeless and suffering in the streets. This heartbreaking reality demands our attention and action.

Trump takes responsibility for successes, never for failures. Or he calls them successes, with his base of stupids believing him.

How about sending fired folks like Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi to lead the charge on Kharg Island. The first has shown she's handy with a gun---shooting her own dog and a goat---while the other "weaponized" the Justice Dept.

That's some "deployment of boots on the ground" I could get behind. Anywhere, since Trump calls actual soldiers "suckers and losers", no two people are more sucker and loser than Noem and Bondi.

Toss in Barron and the Iranians would die of laughter.

Actually, he fired Gen George and two other generals - not 12. But he is clearly reckless..in the middle of a war.

US defence chief sacks top army general

WASHINGTON - The Trump administration has fired army chief of staff General Randy George and two other senior figures, officials said on Friday, in a surprise shake-up just as US forces are locked in

Noem likely already has a Marine uniform in her cosplay wardrobe.

That Lewandowski guy must have a real uniform fetish. Just imagine; "Kristi. Can you dress up in your McDonald's outfit tonight? And show me your Big Macs?

They probably spoke truth to power and put the constitution before trump and company.dangerous times!

This is at least partially false. The Army Chief of Staff was dismissed. Not the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff was dismissed early on in the Trump regime. But no indication that was due to any issue involving Iran. And only 3 generals in all were dismissed. But they were of high rank and enjoyed the esteem of their fellow officers.

An intentionally misleading post containing false information.

The people who retired are Biden administration appointees. The military personnel were not involved in the Iran operation.

How about a retraction?

Pete is busy decimating the defense department in the midst of a war. Some would refer to that as a form of treason and certainly the opposite actions of a true patriot. More like a white supremacist and a racist goon. This man is a disgrace and one can only hope he is the next one that gets thrown under the bus by the chief circus clown.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired Gen. Randy George, the Army’s chief of staff, on Thursday, a move that reflects growing hostility between Mr. Hegseth and the Army’s leadership, military officials said.

General George, who was appointed to his position in 2023, led the Army out of one of its worst recruiting crises in history in 2024 and more recently has pushed the service to accelerate its acquisition of cheap drones and other kinds of weapons that have come to dominate the war in Ukraine.

The tension with Mr. Hegseth was not rooted in substantive differences over the direction of the Army, military officials said. Rather it is the product of Mr. Hegseth’s long-running grievances with the Army, battles over personnel and his troubled relationship with Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll, the officials said.

Over the last year, General George and Mr. Driscoll had formed a tight partnership, officials said.

Mr. Hegseth has also clashed in recent months with General George and Mr. Driscoll over the defense secretary’s decision to block the promotion of four Army officers to be one-star generals.

Two of the officers targeted by Mr. Hegseth are Black and two are women on a promotion list that consisted of 29 other officers, most of whom are white men. Mr. Hegseth’s highly unusual decision to remove the officers prompted some senior military officials to question whether they were being singled out because of their race or gender, officials said.
