Hegseth is considering firing a number of military generals and flag officers, NBC News reported Wednesday, citing two Defense officials and three congressional officials.
The proposed cuts were outlined in a memo issued Tuesday, which ordered a reduction in the Middle East and Europe military commands.
Saudi Arabia and Russia getting what they paid for...
The acting Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Salesses said Wednesday that reduction, which is projected to slash $50 billion off of the defense budget, would help pay for President Trump's administration's defense priorities, including border security and the "Iron Dome for America" missile defense system.
I keep saying it, they won't actually cut spending one bit. All these "cuts" are really reallocations they're phrasing this way to fool the rubes into believing they'll actually substantively reduce the deficit or debt.
Wait for it. I bet Musk will soon reveal SpaceX is getting into the business of making rockets for defense purposes or StarLink will introduce a program for missile guidance or something.

It is ironic because trump firing a Black 4-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff only to name a less qualified white man to the same job is the reason why DEI policies exist in the first place.
