Hegseth Orders Cuts of 20% of Senior Generals
Original: Hegseth to cut 20% generals
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced plans to cut the number of general and flag officers by 20%, part of a push to slim down the military's top command. The move, which would also reduce the number of four-star positions, is drawing strong reactions, with critics calling it politically motivated purging of leadership and supporters framing it as trimming Pentagon bureaucracy.
Why now: A sweeping reduction in senior military leadership by the Defence Secretary is a major and controversial shake-up of the Pentagon.
