Gotta be really careful with military purges. Don't want to piss thrm off before you're locked in for life. Otherwise, all the "career" enlisted hoping to keep their heads down and ride this admin out just saw you shit on someone who did everything they thought was right. The intrusive thoughts will get louder when they hear the admin isn't changing.

Iamtheonewhobawks Apr 3, 2026 +28

Purging command of anyone popular or competent enough to influence the military against you is dictator 101. Remember that this administration pulled this shit on day one, a whole year ago, and the army fell in line immediately. Blow up some fishing boats because "drugs" and deliberately follow up with immediate execution of survivors, in total violation of both US and international law? Check. Kidnap the leader of a nation, murdering bystanders and blowing up a bunch of stuff along the way also in full violation of US and international law? Check. Full-on invasion of another nation without provocation or even a goal? Check. You don't have to be a genius or even sane to do an authoritarian coup, you just have to check the same exact boxes all the other ones did. Republicans have been doing so with DT as a battering ram since 2016. If the military was gonna refuse compliance they'd have done it last time Donald ordered something illegal, or the time before that, or the time before that.

TWVer Apr 2, 2026 +44

Something tells me this has to do with the investigation into those AH-64s overflying No Kings Day protesters at very low level and showing up at Kid Rock’s mansion. The US Army initiated an investigation when this came to light, temporarily suspending the involved crews from flight status, which is the regular procedure. Hegseth personally stepped in to overrule it.

44

showhorrorshow Apr 2, 2026 +35

And any commander worth a damn would be quite pissed when discipline is undermined this way. Severely disrespectful.

35

TWVer Apr 2, 2026 +13

That’s exactly why I expect this to be the main point of contention between the now fired general and Hegseth. Pete crossed several red lines there in terms of due diligence, just to highlight fealty is more important than truth to him and the wider administration.

TheRuneMeister Apr 2, 2026 +43

Purple Heart, well there is your answer. Only weak pathetic soldiers get hurt in combat. We all know this. Donald Trump made that very clear. (For whomever is reading this in the future, you don’t get to take the above out of context. It is clearly sarcasm despite not having the /s tag)

My thoughts exactly. Especially the timing of it: after market close (Stock market closed tomorrow for Good Friday). And within a couple hours of Bondi being fired the same day? I have no basis, other than the last few weeks of lived experience, but I think it's within the realm of possibility that someone floated a ultra dangerous idea about increasing the velocity of the war with Iran. And Gen. George flat out said no, not doing it. They are planning something massive for this weekend. And of course it's Easter... It would be the chef's kiss in terms of contrast between Love and War.

Republicans could end the insanity any time. They choose not to. All Republicans are fascist domestic terrorists.

So is this because that kid rock flyby happened under his watch? Or is it because he investigated and suspended the pilots for doing it (which hegseth quickly reversed)

60% of vetetans voted for this. Maybe the military has a stupidity problem, but who am I to get in the way of someone's dreams?

Another highly qualified person being let go. I bet the replacement will not be a person of color.

Let me guess…he’s competent, has integrity, & and is “woke”!

Gen. Christopher LaNeve, is the Vice Chairman. What's the scoop on him? Seems to have experience. Commanded 82 Airborne.

Hegseth wants to lose more wars. He’s on the right path.

I really hope he opposed any orders to boots on the ground in Iran. The US does not have the resources for an Iran war unless we started taxing billionaires at WW2 rates.

Guess he wasn’t on board with the invasion of Iran….

Seemed like he was a regular suck up for the administration....what was his bridge too far?

Phew, now that we finally got rid of this experienced general we can finally win this war! /s

Hmmm, shouldn't the reporting say something about why?

Between this and his recent effort to allow soldiers to carry their private firearms on base - I'm really concerned he's setting up for a military coup.

Who wants to bet this has something to do with that stupid helicopter stunt with Kid Rock

At this point we need competence. Our military is starting to destroy vital civilian architecture in a foreign country for literally no reason. We need people in this government and in the military who are willing to stand up to a Fox News host given a vitally important job for no other reason than he is a proper yes-man. The more people who quit, get fired or retire who are actually good people, the worse off this country is in the very near future.

Soon then the administration is going to do what he refused to do. Sacrifice American Service Members all to appease Trump. Hegseth is prob maxxed out on lethality and this is war soldiers know what they signed up for.

How some Fox entertainment host can ask someone with this much experience under his belt to step down is just an absolute oversight in policies of this nation. Please may some light shine.

Probably upset he can't just push him out a window like his counterparts

Why the heck did /r/worldnews moderators remove this from that sub-listnook (https://old.listnook.com/r/worldnews/comments/1sat7ml/secdef_hegseth_has_asked_army_chief_of_staff/)? There is something deeply wrong about the moderators of that sublistnook. I've seen this time and time again there and they don't even bother explaining why.

Purging the military. The hope is that these idiots are just too slow to implement their fascist rule so they are out of power before completion.

Dougalishere Apr 3, 2026 +1

par for the course. If you look at the wikkipedia page for the guy that Kegsbreath replaced its like pages of experience, education, experience leading men and just all round qualifications, then get kegsbreath half a page. ridiculous
