The Guardian newspaper wrote in a critical report on the situation in the US Department of War that the Pentagon has reached a stage of internal turmoil after a wave of widespread dismissals and purges, and many military officials consider the performance of "Pete Hegsett", the Trump administration's Secretary of War, a threat to the cohesion of the US military.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The report says that since Donald Trump returned to the White House in January last year, Hegsett has dismissed or forced into retirement 24 generals and senior commanders, without providing a specific reason for their actions.
According to the Guardian, about 60 percent of those dismissed were black or women; an issue that critics see as part of the Trump administration's attack on diversity and equality policies.
The Guardian emphasized that many of the dismissed officers had distinguished professional records. The most recent case was General Randy George, the US Army Chief of Staff, who was reportedly removed after opposing an order to remove the names of four female and black officers from the promotion list.
