U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth today dismissed more than a dozen generals, including the commander of the U.S. Army's ground forces.


U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth today dismissed more than a dozen generals, including the commander of the U.S. Army's ground forces.

NEW HERE: It's not just Gen. Randy George who's on the way out. Defense officials tell me and @TaraCopp that Hegseth's team also is removing: Gen. David Hodne, a former Army Ranger who leads the services Transformation and Training Command Maj. Gen. William Green Jr., head of the Army's chaplain corps Hodne's command was created under George's watch, while Hegseth has sought recently to overhaul how military chaplains operate.

A general with 36 years of service. Gone. By phone. Mid-war. No transition. The replacement's primary credential? A phone call on inauguration night. Trump called him "central casting." That's who's running your Army now. JackHopkinsNow.com

BREAKING: Trump Administration Orders Dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service open.substack.com/pub/morethanju…

On behalf of the Joint Force and the Joint Chiefs, we extend our deepest gratitude to Chief of Staff of the Army, General Randy George, for his decades of steadfast service to our nation. Since 1988, General George and his family have consistently answered the nation’s call with honor and dedication. We are profoundly thankful to General George and his wife, Patty, for their many years of sacrifice and devotion to those who serve. As they graduate from this distinguished chapter of service and look toward the future, we wish them both continued happiness and success in all that lies ahead.

BREAKING: French General Michel Yakovleff tells Trump and his team to "stop sniffing coke" after they hatch an insane plot to seize Iran's uranium with a risky raid that would involve building a runway INSIDE of Iran. Yakovleff really didn't hold back... "I was a planner. I see a planner who tells me I have a great idea, chief, and then all you have to do is make a complete air base, etc," the general said of the proposed American plan during a TV appearance. "I say, you have to stop sniffing coke on the desk between your meetings. That's not possible. That's not possible!" "You don't sniff coke in Brussels?" asked the other man on the panel. "No, exactly. But here, I wonder... It's become so 'wow!' We are beyond science fiction. It's taking over to make an air base. It's Dien Bien Phu, if you want," Yakovleff said, referring to the disastrous 1954 battle between French forces and the Viet Minh in Vietnam. "The French have done it too. Do you want to see Dien Bien Phu? Go ahead. Enjoy." The similarities between Trump's battle plan and Dien Bien Phu are striking. The French inserted soldiers into a basin deep within Viet Minh-controlled territory, established a fortified base, and were promptly surrounded and pummeled by the enemy. The French suffered over 12,400 casualties. Yakovleff served as a three general in the French Army, as the commander of the French Foreign Legion, and in top positions in NATO. When he speaks on military issues, the world listens. "In addition to that, it's to go and look for fluids that were buried following the bombing," he continued, referring to the uranium. "I mean, the bombings probably made the galleries collapse, etc. In other words, even the Iranians, if they want to go and look for them, they need mass engineering." "They need builders. They need to recreate tunnels. They need to look for where the tunnels were before they collapsed to go and look for the stuff," he added. "So guys, even the Iranians, in peacetime, will take weeks or months to do this kind of excavation. So we don't see the Americans doing it. We're going to do it anyway. We're going to do it? Have fun, guys! The reporting on the proposed plan does indeed suggest a massive logistical operation will be needed in addition to the strictly military one. Isfahan, where roughly half the uranium is stored, is roughly 300 miles inland inside Iran. Al Jazeera reports that American forces would need heavy equipment, including excavators, to dig it up. They'd have to transport all of that while under constant attack from Iranian rockets, missiles, drones, and ground forces. Quite simply put, if Trump proceeds with this plan it will turn into one of the greatest military debacles in history. American troops will die in droves, all so that Israel can destabilize a regional enemy and continue its own territorial expansion. Please ❤️ and share to demand an immediate end to the Iran War!


This move is a surprise to many relatively senior Army officials. It also comes close to nearly a complete remake of the Joint Chiefs since Hegseth took office. Only Gen. Eric Smith of the Marine Corps and Gen. Chance Saltzman of the Space Force remain from the original team.

NEW HERE: It's not just Gen. Randy George who's on the way out. Defense officials tell me and @TaraCopp that Hegseth's team also is removing: Gen. David Hodne, a former Army Ranger who leads the services Transformation and Training Command Maj. Gen. William Green Jr., head of the Army's chaplain corps Hodne's command was created under George's watch, while Hegseth has sought recently to overhaul how military chaplains operate.

Army Chief of Staff fired: THIS IS VERY BIG. Firing the Army Chief now, and replacing him with a loyalist, is preparation for orders the previous leadership might have slow-walked or resisted. When you fire a service chief mid-war with no stated cause, the real reason is almost certainly doctrinal disagreement — how the war is being fought. It should be noted that the US started bombing Iranian civilian infrastructure today (Iran's largest bridge). A career infantry officer like George, who ran the Army's transformation initiative, would have serious institutional opinions about the feasibility and cost of a ground operation in Iran. If he was pushing back — even through internal channels — that's exactly the kind of friction Hegseth would remove. The likely replacement is Gen. Christopher LaNeve, formerly Hegseth's own military aide — meaning Hegseth is installing a loyalist at the top of the Army during active combat operations against Iran. Hegseth has now fired over a dozen senior military officers, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. C.Q. Brown, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti, Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James Slife, and the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse. Bottom line: This is escalatory. The civilian leadership is systematically removing any institutional brake on military options — this is what the entire purge has been building toward. The George ouster happening simultaneously with Trump's "stone ages" speech is not coincidence. Expect the next two weeks to be the most kinetically intense phase of the war so far.

JUST IN - Pete Hegseth fires two more generals, David Hodne and William Green Jr., alongside Army Chief Of Staff Randy George — Reuters
