US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has fired or blocked the promotion of more than 80 generals. This personnel scavenging affected about 10% of senior US military officers, and there was no sign of stopping. A number of familiar and retired military officials revealed that recently, Hegseth also targeted seven army officers. The Army's senior review committee has selected these 7 people to be promoted to major generals. Officials said that Hegseth refused to explain the considerations behind it, causing internal divisions within the Pentagon and causing dissatisfaction among many members of the National Assembly. The latest public objection was Secretary of the Army Daniel P. Driscoll, who recently resigned. According to military officials, Hegseth's purge did not stem from the poor performance of military officers, but rather a larger layout promoted by the Minister of Defense: building an army in line with his political and ideological ideas at a high level.
