Hegseth's 'Pentagon PURGE': Two officers say they were forced out for questioning policies

Two former officers told MS NOW they were pushed out of their jobs and forced to retire early after questioning command decisions. The officers spoke on the condition of anonymity due to concerns that the Pentagon would retaliate against them and try to strip their retirement pensions.

In a statement, acting Pentagon press secretary Joel Valdez said: “Not a single general officer or flag officer has been fired raising concerns about any issue.”
