Also, Mullin has never been in war. He was a plumber so he knows bad smells, but not war.

Hegseth ousts top Army general​

The departure of Army Chief of State Gen. Randy George follows a string of high-level firings under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and comes amid the Iran war.

We really should not make fun of people with mental disabilities and addictions, unless they are in charge of the military and are fucking everything up.

Remove generals loyal to the constitution, Legalize all soldiers (your soldiers) to have firearms on base incase you missed a officer willing to stand up for democracy. Sounds like dictatorship 101 to me.

Kegseth is taking out more US Generals than Iran.

Some officers are typically removed at the beginning of a war. The skills needed for a peacetime military are very often different from a wartime officer's corp and its often not apparent until a war starts.

Gen Marshall removed 500 senior officers (not just generals) at the beginning of ww2 and promoted guys like Eisenhower, Bradley and Ridgeway.

Gen Walker was on the ground in Korea removing officers who weren't right.

Its just part of the deal, and not making some of those hard choices early, ie. Vietnam, can lead to bigger problems later.

Not to say that is what Hegseth is doing, but its at least possible.

Reorienting the army into a gang, loyal only to the mob bosses.

Are you seriously comparing Hegseth to George C. Marshall?

Are you seriously comparing Hegseth to George C. Marshall?

Only in the sense that they both have fired senior officers at the beginning of a war. I thought that was quite obvious, but maybe I should have explained it in simpler terms for you.

But hegseth is an incompetent buffoon so there's that.
