@pbsnews: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is ordering cuts to top positions within the U.S. military. In a memo obtained by the "News Hour," Hegseth called for a 20 percent reduction of four-star generals across the active-duty military and top positions in the National Guard. The memo further directs the military to trim an additional 10 percent of its general and flag officers across the force. There are currently about 800 general officers in the military. Only 44 of those are four-star general or flag officers. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #trumpadministration #hegseth #usmilitary #military #generals #nationalguard

It's because these generals won't follow unlawful orders.

He wants to get rid of leaders. He’s not qualified/experienced enough to make those decisions. Those people would likely support the citizens & our Constitution.

Those generals earned their positions and leadership through experience. He wouldn't know anything about that.

Remove Hegseth immediately. Call Congress 202-224-3121.  SIGNAL is not DOD-spec. His lack of judgement risks us, our troops and intelligence officers. If he supported the warfighter, he'd resign.

Why? Does he think that these people who spent DECADES in service, are some how lazy freeloaders?

Wild, because I thought we had a deficit in service members. Someone needs to question his logic at a time that conflicts are ramping up on the other side of the world. He's unfit. Clearing the leaders that won't bow to the MAGA regime.
