This is a farewell letter from the Army Chief of Staff Hegseth fired last week, Gen. Randy George:
Most people are interpreting this as a slight criticism of Hegseth with his reference to “needing courageous leaders of character” but that comes as a surprise to Republicans who saw him as being a true blue Trumper:
Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) told Newsmax’s Ed Henry that he “would look into it immediately” as to why the four-star general was fired.
“I’ve never heard him say anything contrary to what the president’s trying to achieve,” McCormick said. “I thought he’s done a really good job getting the Army ready for war. So, I’d like to hear more because that’s concerning to me.”
It’s reported that he was fired because he balked at refusing to promote some officers who happen to be Black and female. Hegseth, as we know, is a bigoted piece of work who doesn’t think anyone but white, Christian men should run the world. I don’t know if that’s true and this letter certainly doesn’t shine any light on that question.
Hegseth is remaking the officer corps in the image of a war criminal junior officer, which is basically what he is. If one didn’t know better one might start to believe that all this is in preparation for a coup.
