After the failed operation in Iran, the Pentagon is firing generals en masse.

6 882 15

Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth has dismissed General Randy George, Chief of Staff of the US Army, according to the US Department of War press service. Media reports indicate that the senior military official did not support a ground operation in Iran.

General Randy George is retiring as the 41st Chief of Staff of the Army, effective immediately. The Department of War thanks General George for his service to our country.

- the Pentagon said in a statement.



American media reported yesterday on serious complaints against the Chief of Staff of the US Army from the head of the military department.

Pete Hegseth wants someone in the job who will "implement Trump's vision for the military."

– CBS emphasized.

It is emphasized that the Chief of Staff of the Army usually holds his post for four years, but George was supposed to remain in it until 2027.

As publications close to the US military have noted in their reports, Randy George is opposed to a ground operation in Iran. In all likelihood, this is precisely why he hasn't been forgiven.

Notably, Pete Hegseth followed suit by dismissing two other high-ranking US Army commanders. According to The Washington Post, the commander of the US Army Transformation and Training Command, General David Hodne, and the chief of the Army Chaplain Corps, Major General William Green Jr., have been dismissed.

It should be added that the issue of conducting a ground operation in the Islamic Republic is still on the agenda. Middle Eastern media reports indicate it could begin in the coming days.

    There is no US failure in Iran.
    All these tons of information garbage on the heads of ordinary people
    pouring out like stories from a madhouse.
    Trump is pursuing his agenda very competently, considering
    real goals, not just chatter.

      There is no failure, but the expected victorious blitzkrieg is also not there!

    Shouldn't the Russian Federation also follow this American example of mass dismissals of generals?
    Maybe then the dead-end SVO will be more successful?

    And again, events in America are reminiscent of the late USSR.
    Namely, Rust's flight, his landing on Red Square and... the mass dismissal of generals.
    Trump is acting in the "best" traditions of Gorbachev.

      Fedot, yes, not that

      M. Rust was imprisoned, although "Winners are not judged!"
      M. Gorbachev's goal was to whitewash himself, but not to correct the situation with air defense.

        The reasons are varied, but what about the results? Generals and air defense commanders were fired...

          In military terms, the United States is doing just fine - minor losses as a result of a month-long intensive air campaign, effective logistics at such a distance from its territory, and all that.
          Problems in the political sphere - generals do not share the goals of the war, criticizing the "general line"

            Their generals who criticize the "general line" are fired.
            Our people are imprisoned, sent to Africa and blown up.
            These are the "problems in political terms"...

        As far as I remember, Rust's air defense was deployed along the entire route, but the political leadership did not give the order to eliminate him, and that's why this question remains open, that is, the air defense was in order, and the generals were simply removed as scapegoats.

          The matter is old, but the question remains... closed.
          M. Gorbachev was in Berlin for negotiations, and they feared that this was a deliberate provocation in order to disrupt the "peace" with the West.
          After all, before this there was a precedent with the downing of a South Korean Boeing 747 over Sakhalin, and the deafening outcries in the Western media about it!

            During negotiations, allowing an aircraft that was not assigned an “escort” of fighters or helicopters or at least training aircraft of the US Air Force to land on Red Square is a much greater miscalculation than simply shooting it down.

          Rusta's air defense was deployed along the entire route, but the political leadership did not give the order to eliminate it, so why did this question remain open?

          That's not even a question. According to information from open internet sources, Gorby was inquiring about an air defense map the day before this incident. Most likely, this was an operation by the KGB or a personally targeted individual to eliminate undesirable pro-communist generals. The incident provided a pretext for their removal from their positions. When the Union was being divided in Belovezhskaya Pushcha, there was no one left to give the order to eliminate traitors. Everyone in high positions already had their own people.

    The Chief of the Army Chaplain Corps has been dismissed.

    After which the Pedophile published his obscene Easter sermon.
