Appearing on MS NOW on Friday morning, former Naval College professor Tom Nichols was asked about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s latest firing of top Pentagon officials and he pointed out a distinct pattern that deserves additional scrutiny.
On Thursday, the volatile Hegseth fired Army Chief of Staff General Randy A George, which the New York Times described as “a move that reflects growing hostility between Mr. Hegseth and the Army’s leadership, military officials said.”

According to Nichols, Hegseth's enmity towards the US Army leadership likely has its genesis in his own unhappy experience when he served.
Calling the firing of top Pentagon officials when the US is involved in a hot war, "concerning," Nichols told the hosts that Hegseth has a “particular animus when it comes to the Army, which Hegseth has some pretty bitter feelings about as a passed-over major who later wrote that the Army ‘spit him out’.”
