Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is considering firing or removing generals and senior officers as early as this week, according to multiple officials.


The article from ABC News discusses Fox News host Pete Hegseth's call for the removal of "woke" generals and senior officers from the U.S. military, following a report by the Heritage Foundation. The report, titled "Rebuilding America’s Military: The United States Military in 2024," criticizes the current state of the military under President Joe Biden's administration, alleging a decline in military readiness due to what it describes as "woke" policies. Hegseth, a former Army officer, argued on "Fox & Friends" that these policies are undermining the military's primary mission. The Heritage Foundation's report suggests that the military's focus has shifted towards social issues rather than combat effectiveness, potentially jeopardizing national security. It recommends a significant overhaul, including the dismissal of senior military leaders who support these policies, to refocus on traditional military values and readiness.
