Why Did He Fire Gen. George? Hegseth Won't Say 🤐

Описание: On April 29, 2026, during a heated House Armed Services Committee budget hearing in Washington, D.C., Representative Marilyn Strickland (D-WA) confronted Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth regarding the abrupt dismissal of General Randy George, the former Chief of Staff of the Army.

Strickland repeatedly pressed Hegseth to justify firing a highly vetted four-decade veteran in the middle of an active conflict with Iran. Hegseth refused to provide specific reasons for the removal, citing "respect" for the officers, while claiming the move was part of an effort to return the military to a "merit-based system" and eliminate what he called "social engineering". The exchange grew tense when Hegseth attempted to deflect by questioning Strickland on the General's place in the operational chain of command, leading Strickland to demand he "show some respect".
