Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, is reportedly calling for the resignation of Army Chief of Staff General Randy George. The move reflects Hegseth’s broader intent to overhaul the Pentagon’s leadership and remove officials associated with diversity and inclusion initiatives. This potential shift aligns with the incoming administration’s focus on military readiness over social programs. Reports suggest the transition team may establish a “warrior board” of retired officers to review the fitness of senior military leaders for their roles.
- Pete Hegseth has reportedly pressured Army Chief of Staff General Randy George to resign as part of a planned Pentagon restructuring.
- The move is part of a wider effort by the incoming administration to remove military leaders perceived as prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
- Proposed plans include the creation of a “warrior board” composed of retired military personnel to evaluate top-ranking officers and potentially recommend their removal.
- Hegseth has publicly criticized current military leadership, arguing that a focus on social issues has compromised national security and recruitment efforts.

I mean, ICE is now screening marine graduates. Of course Trump's admin respects the military so much.
MAGA 😂 you regretting yet?
Imagine a news anchor firing a vetern general 😂😂😂😂
I hope indian army never does ts because that is humiliation 😂😂😂😂
this guy went to my college– i hear a lot from one of his professors what a total doofus he was. and this guy is now running a department?!
Regime is changing in US
hegseth is a clown
This is a sign of defeat n weakness!!!
Iranian army generals are so competent that US-Israel have to assasinate them
US army generals are so incompetent that they have to fire them 😂
He was fired because he’s a flip flopper and motivated by woke ideology, No more woke! Many better generals able to takeover…
He was replaced by AI.
So there will be a ground war in Iran. The general apparently refuses to obey.
The Pentagon is at variance with the White House which does not bode well for America. They will move against Trump and his government.
we want the the results😂
Hegseth is good at rooting out competence.
Interesting to see USA down fall in real time!
Removing experienced generals who don't agree with you. Then install puppets. Even since you got there, you've fired every top military official. Well, the puppets will kindly take us to war.
Army chief was not one flying jet ,he wasn't in command center, how can he be fired.
So, whose side is Hegseth on?
You know that he disagreed with the war & wanted to end it.
smart words from this man
Somewhere in Pyongyang, Kim Jong-un is watching a party boy fire four-star generals on live television and quietly thinking — I didn't know democracy could do that for you.
But the real joke runs deeper. The party boy isn't firing anyone. Israel is systematically dismantling and rebuilding the US military command structure, and the clown is just the face they rented to make it look American. A puppet with a Pentagon badge — history will struggle to find a more perfect description of what America has become
The use of “leader” makes me think of Chinese and CCP. Not good.
Has hesgeth falsely colored his hair to look senior and old ?
this is what happens when you put a lunatic in charged of anything…. he has an inferiority complex and thats the reason why he is firing all this high ranking officials.
Does your heart goes out for the little girls targeted by these pilots?
🤔He said No…🤷🏿♀️
2 downed planes after general firing, that speaks volume !
What disruption!?? He will be replaced by a better one.
If you are going to stage a coup, you need the military on your side. Hegseth will stack the military with loyalists so Trump can usurp the next election.
One delinquent with the mentality of a three year old child puts another delinquent with the mentality of a three year old child in charge of the most powerful but most inept military in the world, then they fire one of the few remaining people who knows what they're doing because they don't agree with everything the two of them say.
Only in America, now the most isolated country in the world, with the fewest genuine allies.
MAGA elected Trump to make American weak again 😂.
Night of the long knives 😮
临阵换将就等于自杀
Well, Hegseth has actually weaponized the military and removed competent officers…for his own right-wing fascist ‘woke’ reasons…
A scapegoat was badly needed – and found.
This career officer upheld his oath refusing to commit to warcrimes.
