Pentagon chief Hegseth to cut 20% of top military posts
Original: Why is Hegseth cutting 20 percent of US general and admiral positions?
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered a reduction of 20 percent in the number of general and admiral positions across the US armed forces. The move is part of his broader push to streamline the Pentagon's leadership and cut what he calls bureaucratic excess. Commentators are weighing whether the cuts would weaken military effectiveness or genuinely reform a top-heavy command structure.
Why now: The defense secretary's sweeping cut to senior military leadership roles is a major and controversial restructuring of the US armed forces.
