New York Times: Șeful Pentagonului a înlăturat 10% dintre liderii militari de rang înalt, între care mulţi ofiţeri de culoare şi femei

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has blocked promotions for over 80 generals and admirals, impacting nearly 10% of senior military leadership. This purge includes several officers of color and women, raising concerns about its implications for military morale and leadership diversity. The actions have sparked division within the Pentagon and discontent among Republican Congress members. Secretary of the Army Daniel P. Driscoll resigned in protest, citing the risk to military modernization efforts and questioning the fairness of the promotion system. Hegseth's decisions appear politically motivated, aiming to align military leadership with his views.
