Hegseth orders cut of 20% of US general and admiral posts
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 military, according to Al Jazeera. The move, part of his broader push to streamline the Pentagon's leadership, is drawing debate over whether it will cut bureaucracy or weaken military oversight and readiness.
Why now: The order marks an unprecedented reshaping of senior US military leadership under the Trump administration's Pentagon reform agenda.
