America is at war with Iran, and Pete Hegseth just fired 3 generals in a single day, including the Army’s top officer

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has removed General Randy George, the Army’s top officer, along with two other senior generals. The firings include Maj. Gen. William Green, the chief of chaplains, and Maj. Gen. David Hodne, who led the Army Transformation and Training Command. Sean Parnell, the chief spokesperson for the Department of War, confirmed George’s departure.

General George had only taken the chief post in September 2023 and was widely expected to serve until the end of summer 2027. His early removal is partly linked to Hegseth’s ongoing tensions with Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, and George and Driscoll were known allies. George also previously served as a senior military assistant to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin during the Biden administration, reports NBC News.
