Episode Details

U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth has dismissed General Randy George, the armys top uniformed officer, amidst the ongoing war against Iran. This comes after Hegseth has already ousted more than a dozen top generals and admirals since taking office. George, a West Point graduate and infantry veteran with experience in the Gulf War, Iraq, and Afghanistan, was appointed by the Biden team in August 2023. His deputy, General James Mingus, has also been replaced. These changes occur as the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran continue, with President Trump aiming for a two-to-three-week conclusion but no ground troops announced. The shake-up in leadership adds to the evolving dynamics on the front lines and at home.
