Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that President Donald Trump had not uncommon the sudden firing of the senior military officer of the nation amid a wave of dismissal in the Pentagon and could have high firing.
“Nothing is unprecedented about this,” Hegseth told “Fox News Sunday” The Air Force was removed by General CQ Brown Junior on Friday night as the chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff. “The President is eligible to choose his leading National Security Advisory Team.”
Hegseth said, “There are many presidents who made changes” Franklin D. Rouzvelt, George HW Bush and Barack Obama. Obama, Hegseth said, “Hundreds of the military officers were fired or rejected”.
In his first term months, Obama removed the army general David McKaren from being a commander of the US Army in Afghanistan. However, Trump vowed to run for his second term, eradicate the “Vok” ideologies from the army and reject several top leaders rapidly.
Hegseth and Trump have not created any secret about focusing on pushing military officers who have supported diversity, equity and inclusion in ranks. The administration says that this step wants to better strengthen a fatal fight force.
Brown Is just to serve as the second black general chairman. In this post, he was consumed for 16 months of war in Ukraine and an extended conflict in the Middle East. In 2020, Trump nominated Brown as the Chief of Staff of the Air Force.
Trump Brown wants to replace Brown with Air Force Lieutenant. General Dan “Razin” can, who retired in December. It is not clear what will request to remember Caine for active duty service. The condition requires a can confirmed by the Senate.
Hegseth said that Friday’s dismissal impressed six three and four-Sitara generals and “there was a reflection of the President who wanted the right people around them to execute the national security approach”.
He called Brown “honorable”, but he said that he is “not the right man at this time,” citing specific shortcomings. After George Floid’s 2020 assassination, Brown spoke of his experience as a black pilot in a video, obviously made a fodder against the initiative to include him in the army for the wars of Trump administration.
Can, Hegseth said that Trump “respects leaders who open the hands of war fighters in a very dangerous world.”
Retired General George Casey called the firing “extremely destabilized”. Casey, which Republican President George W. Bush’s commander was the US commander and for multinational forces in Iraq from 2004 to 2007, it was noted that the Trump administration could change the Pentagon policy by changing the personnel, but said what happens to the presidency.
“This is his privilege,” Casey told ABC “This week.” “Hey is the lead commander of the armed forces.”
Nevertheless, Sen Jack Reid of the Ranking Democrat Road Island of the Senate Armed Services Committee told ABC that the firing were “completely inappropriate” and “apparently, Trump and Hegseth are trying to police the defense department.”
They plan to set fire in a possible compilation list of more defense officers about a type of officers about officers as Fox News as Hegseth. Hey, is there no list, but suggested that more dismissal could actually come.
“We have a very deep eye towards the desire to follow military leadership and legitimate system,” Hegseth said. “Joe Biden gave legitimate orders. Many of them are real bad,” Hey said, “Military ideologically” disappeared “, adding things like the Kovid vaccine mandate.”
“President Trump has given another set of legitimate orders and will be followed,” said Hegseth. “If they are not followed, then the authorities will get the door.”
