Hegseth orders 20% cut in US general and admiral ranks
Original: Why is Hegseth cutting 20 percent of US general and admiral positions?
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered a 20 percent reduction in the number of general and admiral positions across the US armed forces. The move is part of his push to slim down the military's senior leadership and cut what the Pentagon describes as unnecessary bureaucracy. Analysts are debating whether the cuts will make the military leaner or weaken its command structure.
Why now: The Pentagon chief's decision to slash senior officer positions is a major shake-up of US military leadership that is drawing wide attention and debate.
