Randy George, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. CQ Brown Jr., and Adm. Lisa Franchetti. The moves, often executed without specific reasons, are part of a broader, controversial effort to remove officers deemed misaligned with the administration's priorities. Hegseth has also faced intense criticism for declaring that "no quarter" would be given to enemies in Iran, a statement interpreted as ordering troops to kill surrendering combatants, which is a war crime under international law. The actions have caused friction with leaders like Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and increasing skepticism of the administration's competency in waging wars. In our latest, we talk about the war inside the Pentagon between military leadership and Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. It's also the anniversary of the Vietnam Vets Against the War founding (April 15, 1967) and one of their most known mass actions, Dewey Canyon III (April 19-21, 1971) and discuss why military dissent is important. ------------------------ 🎸 Outro- "Green and Red Blues" by Moody 🔗 Links 🌐 How Vets are Resisting the War in Iran w/ Anti-War Veteran Zack Henson (https://bit.ly/47IdHMT) 🌐 Trump at War with the Military?
