Hegseth to Cut 20% of General and Admiral Positions, Pentagon Says
🎖️ PENTAGON — Gutting senior command during an active war at DEFCON 1 isn't restructuring — it's something else. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Reducing flag officer billets by 20% while CENTCOM manages Hormuz, post-midterm strike planning, and Iraq withdrawal simultaneously removes institutional memory and command depth at the worst possible moment. Whether this is efficiency or loyalty purge, the operational signal to adversaries is the same: US command architecture is in flux before November 5.
