“Records show Roosevelt skipped over roughly 20 major generals and 14 brigadier generals who outranked Marshall on the active duty list. General George C. Marshall forced out or relieved nearly 600 senior officers—including stripping out a vast majority of existing generals—to clear out outdated leadership before and during World War II. Hegseth has actively fired and purged over 20 top military officers and Pentagon leaders during his tenure, leading to record leadership vacancies.” Google AI.
“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is blocking the promotions of four Army officers selected for promotion to one-star rank, a highly unusual move that appears to be targeting officers who worked for generals he does not like, current and former defense officials said. So far this year Mr. Hegseth has removed at least 45 officers, selected by boards made up of peers, from promotion lists. More than half of those officers have been female or Black.” NY Times.
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
