President Trump said he would fire generals who disagree with his vision of a more conservative, traditional military. During a speech at a Marine Corps base in Virginia, Trump stated that any leader who doesn’t support his “MAGA-friendly” military will be let go. The comment came as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth urged the military to adopt a new culture that prioritizes merit and loyalty over diversity and inclusivity. The move is part of Trump’s broader effort to overhaul the Pentagon and impose a more conservative ideology on the US military.
