Reggie Jackson blasts Hegseth's Army leadership purge amid Iran war
Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson criticized U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday for removing top Army leaders during an ongoing military operation in Iran. Jackson questioned the timing of ousting experienced officers, including the Army's chief of staff and chaplain corps head. Hegseth on Thursday asked Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to retire immediately, calling it a needed leadership change.
A senior War Department official told Fox News that Hegseth personally called George to request his retirement. The War Department's chief spokesperson, Sean Parnell, confirmed the move on X, noting George's service as the 41st Army chief of staff and wishing him well. Reuters reported the ousters of Gen. David Hodne, head of the Army’s Transformation and Training Command, and Maj. Gen. William Green, leader of the Army’s Chaplain Corps.
Jackson, a former New York Yankees star and current special advisor to the team, wrote on X: “What’s happening with our Sec of Defense. How do we get rid of all that experience at this time? Help me I don’t get it. Getting rid of The Chaplin (sic) leader?” He added: “What? We’ve got a war going on and we’re getting rid of most of our experience and knowledge built with uniform time.”
Hegseth announced changes to military "faith codes" last month as part of an overhaul of the Pentagon chaplain corps and vowed further adjustments.
