Thursday, April 02, 2026

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has asked Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to step down and take immediate retirement, sources familiar with the decision told CBS News. One of the sources said Hegseth wants someone in the role who will implement President Trump and Hegseth's vision for the Army. A senior Defense Department official told CBS News, "We are grateful for his service, but it was time for a leadership change in the Army."

I have a bad feeling that this means some hideous war crimes may be about to happen.

No wonder morale at the Pentagon-- like Dummkopf Trumpf's approval ratings-- are rock bottom.

I'm grateful to be retired and out of that dystopian hellscape.
