Exclusive-Trump's team drawing up list of Pentagon officers to fire, sources say.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Members of President-elect Donald Trump's transition team are drawing up a list of military officers to be fired, potentially to include the Joint Chiefs of Staff, two sources said, in what would be an unprecedented shakeup at the Pentagon.

It was also unclear if Trump himself would endorse the plan, although in the past he has railed extensively against defense leaders who have criticized him. Trump has also spoken during the campaign of firing "woke" generals and those responsible for the troubled 2021 pullout from Afghanistan.

The second source said the incoming administration would likely focus on U.S. military officers seen as connected to Mark Milley, Trump's former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"Every single person that was elevated and appointed by Milley will be gone," the second source said.

"There's a very detailed list of everybody that was affiliated with Milley. And they will all be gone."

The Joint Chiefs of Staff include the highest ranking officers in the U.S. military and comprise the heads of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Space Force.

The disclosure of plans to fire senior leaders of the U.S. armed forces comes a day after Trump picked as his defense secretary Pete Hegseth, a Fox News commentator and veteran who has signaled a willingness to clean house at the Pentagon.

"The next president of the United States needs to radically overhaul Pentagon senior leadership to make us ready to defend our nation and defeat our enemies. Lots of people need to be fired," Hegseth said in his 2024 book "The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free."

I would get rid of all Biden/Obama Generals. It's time for a purge.

Than our military will be pro-American again.

The story is BS. It’s made up. This is what we can expect from the msm - Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.

“The second source said the incoming administration would likely focus”

yeah, no more anonymous sources that don’t exist except in the AI chatbots they instruct to write the stories for them now.

All current 0-7s and above need to have their entire record reviewed and those that toe the DEI party line need to be fired. Those below the rank of O-7 need to be read the riot act and rehabilitated if possible. All current E-9s need to be removed from leadership positions as well.
