  • In an unprecedented purge of the military's senior leadership Friday night, President Donald Trump fired the top US general just moments before his defense secretary fired the chief of the US Navy and the vice chief of the Air Force.

The Trump administration executed an unprecedented purge of military leadership by firing top US General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Navy Chief Admiral Michael Gilday. This move came amidst escalating tensions between the White House and the military over issues including the handling of protests, military involvement in domestic affairs, and differing views on foreign policy. The dismissals were part of a broader shake-up that saw several high-ranking military officials replaced, signaling a significant shift in military leadership and strategy. Critics argue that these firings could undermine military morale and readiness, while supporters of the administration claim it was necessary to align the military more closely with the President's vision. This action has sparked widespread debate about civilian control of the military, the politicization of the armed forces, and the implications for national security.
