US Army Three-Star Lt. Gen. Sylvia Fired for Alleged Leak of Sensitive Information [News Channel Now] Top US Army General Sylvia has reportedly been fired for leaking sensitive information to the media. A three-star Army lieutenant general, Sylvia served as director of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff's Office of Strategy, Plans and Policy before he was fired. He previously served as the commander of the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army. The Associated Press quoted a Defense Department official as saying that Sylvia was being investigated for leaking classified information about the Iran war and the Russia-Ukraine conflict to reporters and that he had failed three polygraph tests. The US Joint Chiefs of Staff issued a statement earlier, thanking Sylvia for her 32 years of service, but later said that after further review, they believed the statement did not reflect the full situation and decided to withdraw the statement. US President Trump said authorities were looking for the leaker and described Sylvia as having major and long-term problems.
