Pete Hegseth fires yet another military leader as the Pentagon purge intensifies
"Toward the end of his unsettling speech to the nation’s generals and admirals last week, in which he effectively made the case that testosterone is the key to modern warfare, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered an unsubtle message to his audience.
“If the words I’m speaking today are making your heart sink, then you should do the honorable thing and resign,” the beleaguered Pentagon chief said.
It was a pointed reminder that Hegseth is not exactly open to engaging with military leaders whose views differ from his own. On the contrary, he’s proven himself eager to purge the armed forces of those he deems unworthy — a campaign that’s still ongoing. Politico reported:
Defense Secretary Pete Hesgeth on Friday fired Navy chief of staff Jon Harrison, an unusually powerful top aide who had orchestrated a reshuffle of the service’s bureaucracy. ... The Pentagon, in a statement, confirmed Harrison’s departure. ‘He will no longer serve as Chief of Staff to the Secretary of the Navy,’ it said. ‘We are grateful for his service to the Department.’"
