## Resource

The House Armed Services Committee is demanding the Pentagon explain within five days why top military leaders are fired — a move sparked by recent high-profile dismissals shrouded in secrecy. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth refused to disclose reasons, citing respect for officers — a response that drew bipartisan concern. Lawmakers, including Rep. Pat Ryan, are pushing for mandatory performance reports on removals, and the amendment passed the committee with a bipartisan vote. While still facing hurdles in the full Congress, this push for accountability in military leadership changes is gaining serious momentum.
