Former Navy Officer Blasts Hegseth For Undermining Recruitment Efforts
A retired Navy admiral has spoken out against the Trump administration’s handling of the military, citing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s decisions as a threat to national security. Hegseth has fired or blocked the promotions of over 80 generals and admirals, with a disproportionate impact on women in the armed forces. The admiral argues that these actions will deprive the military of exceptional leaders and undermine recruitment efforts, according to an op-ed published on MS NOW and reported by Alternet.org.
