U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reportedly requested the immediate retirement of General Randy George, the Chief of Staff of the United States Army, raising speculation about internal tensions within the Pentagon. While George's term was scheduled to conclude in 2027, sources suggest that concerns regarding his ability to execute former President Donald Trump's military strategies may have prompted this decision. The timing is significant as the U.S. prepares for potential military actions in Iran, described by Trump as a return to 'back to the Stone Ages.' Reports indicate that Hegseth's request is also linked to his perceived rivalry with other military leaders, particularly Driscoll, who is believed to have close ties with Vice President JD Vance. General George, appointed by President Joe Biden in 2020, has over 30 years of military experience, including leadership roles in the Gulf War, Iraq War, and Afghanistan. His removal could reflect broader strategic shifts within the Army as it aligns with current defense priorities.
