President Donald Trump's recent firing of top military leaders, including Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Charles "CQ" Brown Jr., have drawn sharp criticism from Democratic lawmakers who warn of growing politicization within the armed forces, with Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, calling the move "completely unjustified."
"People are questioning whether they should stay, talented leaders are wondering if they should get out," said Reed on ABC's "This Week", adding that "it is the beginning of a very, very serious degradation of the military and politicization of the military."
