Senior US General Fired Xinhua News Agency, Washington, October 29 (Reporter Yan Liang) According to US media reports on the 29th, Brett Silvia, the senior general in charge of strategic planning for the US Department of Defense, was dismissed. The reason for the dismissal was not disclosed. Sylvia served as director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff's Directorate of Strategy, Plans and Policy before being removed, and previously served as the commander of the US Army's 101st Airborne Division. US media cited an anonymous source from the Ministry of Defense who said that Silvia is suspected of leaking internal information about the Iran war and the Russia-Ukraine war to the media and failed three polygraph tests. Additionally, Sylvia has a close relationship with former Army Chief of Staff Randy George, who was fired in April this year. The US Army issued a statement thanking Sylvia for her 32 years of service, but later retracted the statement. According to statistics from the American magazine The Atlantic, at least 26 senior generals in the US military have resigned since Gasth became defense secretary last year.
