Warning about the consequences of the dismissals in the Pentagon for the future of the US military

The American media added in the report: In an article published by the Washington Post, the Democratic senator from Rhode Island severely questioned the actions of US President Donald Trump in reviewing the Department of Defense.

The report adds: Jack Reid's criticism came just after the dismissal of General Charles Brown, a four-star pilot and the second African-American to become chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who confirmed Brown’s dismissal in a statement Friday, also said that Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the head of the Navy’s naval operations, and General Jim Slife, the deputy commander of the US Air Force, were also removed from their posts. This comes a day after Trump took office, Admiral Linda Fagan, the commander of the US Coast Guard, was also removed from her post.

According to the report, Jack Reid, in another part of his article, referring to Trump’s dismissal of the top lawyers of the US Army, Navy and Air Force, wrote that the dismissal of the military’s top legal advisers is an unprecedented and explicit move to employ officers who will submit to the president’s interpretation of the law and become mere yes-men on the most important issues of military law.

Hill added: The Democratic lawmaker argued that the massive Pentagon layoffs, expected to continue next week, have created a dangerous ripple effect in the ranks of the US military, making military leaders hesitant to reject illegal orders, speak out about best practices and question abuses of power.

According to the report, Reid, who is also a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has warned that Trump is ignoring existing laws and injecting political and unmeritorious principles into the military promotion system, warning that the United States will face threats in the coming years and therefore must ensure that the rising generation of military leaders is prepared to deal with them.

The American media added: The Democratic senator from Rhode Island also argued that if young Americans feel that the US military is a place where its leaders are punished by politicians, the number of military recruits will fall even more than the current average.
