Another general on the way out Despite the outrage of lawmakers on Capitol Hill, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth continues a string of resignations among the military's top brass. This time, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff's strategic planning division, Lt. Gen. Brett Silvia, lost his job. According to The Atlantic, Sylvia's resignation stems from a loss of trust on Hesseth's part and a strained relationship with Undersecretary of Defense for Political Affairs Elbridge Colby. But CBS reports that the general was fired for leaking information about US plans regarding Iran and the Ukrainian conflict. The general became at least the twenty-sixth senior officer to be ousted by the general. Previously, Army Chief of Staff Randy George and Army Europe and Africa Commander Chris Donahue left their positions. In general, large-scale personnel changes and the previously announced plan to reduce general jobs by 20% reflect not only the desire of Gessett to strengthen control of the department, but also an acute crisis in the development of US military strategy in the context of worsening conflicts in the Middle East. - Let's make America understandable again, support us.
