Hegseth fires US Army chief of staff in reported string of dismissals

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has asked Army Chief of Staff General Randy A George to step down immediately amid the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell stated that George will be retiring, but did not provide reasons for the abrupt decision. This dismissal is part of a series of high-profile changes in the U.S. armed forces since Hegseth took office last January.
