Hegseth fires Pentagon's top military planner
Our illustrious "Secretary of War" has fired another senior general, and nobody knows why. I suspect either said general was unwilling to break the law, or was so much smarter than Pete that Pete couldn't deal with it. www.rawstory.com/pete-hegseth...
Raised by Voles36The general fired was the Pentagon's chief planner. Reading between the lines will suggest Hegsdeath is planning something foul
Sister of Wendy #AbolishICE 🐸32My take is they're firing anyone who would refuse a military-backed coup to end democracy. They're learning from Jair Bolsonaro's mistakes.
Tina - #VoteBlue ⬆️&⬇️ the ballot | Resistbot Text RESIST to 5040924There is NO WAY 🥃 Pete is going to be able to put units of loyalists together & have any kind of military cohesion. @knittingcultlady.bsky.social gives a lesson in how this really works. A soldier takes an oath to the Constitution, NOT to the President.

💙 Democracy is a choice8Bad boy Hegseth does not know how to alpha. He thinks alphas scream and display their genitals all day long. They don’t. Alphas don’t. Not human alphas. Alphas mostly use attraction and display competence; they don’t attack endlessly. Alpha skills are beyond Hegseth’s sordid, sodden brain.
Gyudon Giovanni7He continues his mission of destroying the US military, per Putin’s orders.
Hegseth has fired the Pentagon’s chief planner, Army Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia, from the Joint Chiefs of Staff. No explanation was given.

Irma Rodríguez Mitton36I hope it’s because Sylvia said something like “you’re just a f’ing idiot” in a briefing.
not my monkey's paw, not my serkis...15it's not the joint chiefs fault that hegseth sucks.
Rhonda14Thank goodness we aren’t at war or anything! Otherwise, this constant churn of experienced generals would be alarming.
Mark Stout, Ph.D from Miskatonic University91) Ugh. This is all insane. 2) I believe they mean he was fired from the Joint Staff. He wasn't a member of the Joint Chiefs.
Mike7Don’t worry everyone, he was a weekend Fox morning show co-host.
Secretary of Defense Rock182Isn’t this the second guy to be fired from this position in the last few months?
Adam Weinstein47No J5, major regional war, depleted supplies and basing and morale. Prolly fine though
National Security Counselors 🕵39I mean, they weren't really following any of his plans anyway...
David Burbach 🇺🇸38General in charge of plans & strategy for the Joint Staff (known as the "J-5") fired, Army 3-star Brett Sylvia, no replacement immediately named. 2nd general fired out of the J5 job under Sec. Hegseth.
Josh Fruhlinger34look, this could be ominous, but you've got to admit that the biggest thing the military did this year did not seem to be planned all that well
Ben K.22At the start of Trump II, I was worried about a military purge - which is now going to have to happen in 2029 to de-MAGA-fy this garbage - but I think this just Hegseth being entirely inept and trying to blame everyone but himself at this point.
Tyler King17To the best of my knowledge Hegseth never attended command & staff college and he’s constantly making it everyone else’s problem.
Maria BOO!stillos14Somebody really ought to show these guys some Downfall videos popula.com/2019/02/04/d...
Michael Weiss (not that one)13Nobody has yet suggested the (to me, obvious) theory that Hegseth heard someone referring to "General Sylvia" and assumed that they were talking about a woman and that "Sylvia" was her first name
Nate Schenkkan10Who needs "plans" when you've got "lethality"
It appears that Pete Hegseth consciously lied about the costs of the Iran War, citing numbers that were roughly 25% lower than the Pentagon's already-too-low estimates. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
sissydonhadit.bsky.social1Is anyone not lying in this criminal administration?

TBH, the real truth is that Kegseth knows, if possible, even less about the military's budget than he does how to run a military. He's too stupid to even lie about it, much less understand it.
Thomas fucking Massie had the spine to file impeachment articles on Hegseth, and Jeffries is still doing his careful little two-step. The man's blowing up boats and purging generals in a war nobody voted for. Grow a pair, Hakeem, because voters are sick of Democrats who flinch.
putawomanincharge.bsky.social10He is a huge disappointment to me.
Constantine8Hakeem Jeffries should have been disqualified from any leadership spot after he met with Jared Kushner behind closed doors. Especially now with the stuff that has come out about Jared Kushner.
A Starry Knight 🗽⚖🗽6We NEED new Dem Leadership NOW!
RygelDominar165Hakeem is on someone's payroll - simple as that.
defeq79.bsky.social5He is so freaking timid and ball-less
LisaTheLiberal 🦋5I want Jeffries and Schumer to step down... we need new Dem leadership in congress.
September 30, 2026 Hegseth: “Project Meridian, the future of warfare, is not about developing new strategies or new policies." Instead, he said, its purpose is to “identify the domains that we must conquer, and capabilities we must master.”
Hellishchildren14They have more information on us than they do "enemies." March 10, 2026 archive.ph/Mw5bh The former DOGE who worked at the SSA told coworkers that he has two databases containing the records of more than 500 million Americans, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, citizenship, race.
Release the Epstein files1👆🏼 But both Musk and Luckey head companies that have contracts with the Pentagon worth billions of dollars — and nine current and former officials said any preferential access could allow them to funnel even more business their way
