Heg Stands

Here’s another ridiculous 2026 headline: Before Hegseth fired him, top general was advised to drop Kid Rock probe. These silly acts are a joke, but no one is laughing because of the serious times in the department where they’re being carried out. “The Army has not had a chief of staff, the service’s top officer, since Mr. Hegseth fired Gen. Randy George without explanation in April, and there are no signs that he is close to filling the position, said current and former officials speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel matters. Mr. Hegseth has forced out at least three senior officers who had been viewed as potential successors to General George.” (Did I mention that we were in a war during this period?)
