US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has fired Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George, the service’s top uniformed officer, in a lingering row over promotion linked to race and gender, the New York Times reported on Thursday. Hegseth also reportedly dismissed two other generals in a purge which is feared to be undermining the US war on Iran.
