Hegseth's wartime firing of top generals stuns officials: "It's insane" - Axios
Overview
Hegseth's wartime dismissals of several generals and admirals have reshaped the Joint Chiefs, intelligence agencies, and commands. The forced retirement of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George was described by officials as stemming from personality clashes rather than substantive policy disputes. The abrupt firing of Navy Secretary John Phelan is another example of rapid top-level personnel changes that officials say are eroding traditional safeguards and professional norms.
