"The Army’s top uniformed officer was fired today, effective immediately, with no explanation, no transition period, and no confirmed permanent replacement. His interim successor is the Defense Secretary’s former personal aide. This is the latest in a fourteen-month pattern of removing senior military officers and replacing them with individuals personally trusted by Hegseth."
"The cumulative effect of that pattern — on institutional knowledge, on operational continuity, on the confidence of allied militaries — is a question that American media has not yet treated with the weight that military analysts abroad have been giving it for months."
“The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why. The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no.”
