Watch the same media that couldn’t care less about firing fighting forces over a vax mandate lose their ever-loving minds about dropping a few overstuffed fancy-pants desk jockeys.
When you realize that both Biden and Trump had the support of over 200 generals in the last two elections—and the likelihood of generals publicly endorsing both ends of that spectrum is vanishingly low—it brings into focus just how many officers we have running the military.
With the government looking at efficiencies in all other areas of government, is the military suffering from the same problem of bureaucratic bloat that every other government institution suffers from?
Sec Hegseth has an answer to that question. Yes — but not for long.
With an order he signed while making this video, he announced the need for change at the top and explained what would be done to make it happen.

General and Flag Officer Reductions is the official name of this order.
What’s Hegseth calling it?
“Less Generals, more GIs.’
The goal is simple: Leaner and meaner.
We’ve turned our backs on Obama/Biden goals like electric tanks and transgender troops. If we care about a fighting force that can deliver results, effectiveness, and lethality are the only metrics that matter.
And those are the metrics around which Hegseth is reorienting our military.
