    Hegseth is a real piece of work. These Generals he's purging are 10 times more experienced and capable of leading our military than Hegseth, who only led a platoon for a short stint

    That narcissistic smug ex Fox News host and Trump loyalist GI Joe in a suit is scared of men who are much more capable of leading our forces than he ever dreamed of being. It's disgusting what he's been doing so far.

    Another Top General Is Out at the Pentagon

    C. D. Donahue, the last American soldier to leave Afghanistan, is the latest in a long line of military departures.

    A career Ranger and Special Operations commander, Donahue served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, climbing through the ranks during two decades of counterterrorism wars. As the U.S. military shifted its focus from hunting terrorist networks to preparing for conflicts against technologically sophisticated adversaries, Donahue did as well. In recent years, he took on a top role in Europe as the Pentagon adapted lessons from Ukraine and other modern battlefields.

    Hegseth has sought to oust anyone who doesn’t fit his idea of a military leader. Donahue's departure continues the exit of a generation of combat-tested leaders at a time when Hegseth is reshaping the military’s senior ranks under a banner of “less generals, more GIs.”

    The WAR has been very . . .disappointing.
    Meaning it seems like someone is playing risk or something
    They don't seem like there was much competence in the planning and enactment

    They're purging military leadership so nobody (they hope) will object to deployment when they try to influence the midterms.

    He was a pro with ideals, not a narcissistic game show or talk show host.
