Sources: Trump’s team has prepared the list of Pentagon dismissals
Members of President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team are preparing a list of military officers to be fired, possibly including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in an unprecedented shakeup at the Pentagon, according to two sources.
According to Isna, according to these sources, following Trump’s victory in the November 5th election, planning for deportations is in the initial stage and it is possible that it will change with the formation of the Trump administration.
In an interview with Reuters, one of these sources questioned the possibility of a mass dismissal from the Pentagon. It’s also unclear whether Trump himself will approve the plan, although in the past he has come down hard on military leaders who have criticized him.
During his election campaign, Trump also talked about the dismissal of the WOC generals and those who were responsible for the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The incoming administration is likely to focus on US military officers who appear to be linked to Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Milley, the second source said.
Milley was quoted as calling Trump a “fascist” in Bob Woodward’s book War, published last month. Following that, Trump’s allies have targeted him for disloyalty to the former US president.
The second source also said: “Anyone promoted and appointed by Milli will be destroyed.” “There is a very detailed list of all Milly’s dependents, and they will all disappear.”
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff consists of the highest-ranking officers of the United States military and consists of the heads of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, National Guard, and Space Force. The revelation of the plan to fire top US military leaders comes a day after Trump named Fox News commentator and veteran Pete Hegst as his proposed defense secretary. Hegst has expressed his desire to clean up the Pentagon.
