Military Chiefs Blast Hegseth’s Defense Overhaul Plan
Multiple Pentagon leaders, including General Dan Caine, are raising concerns about Pete Hegseth’s plans to overhaul the National Defense Strategy, particularly his proposal to prioritize homeland defense over global security threats from China and reduce U.S. military presence in Europe and Africa. These plans are expected to be discussed at a meeting in Virginia where hundreds of generals and admirals have been summoned. Sources indicate that military officials believe Hegseth’s strategy is shortsighted and potentially irrelevant, especially given concerns about China’s aggression. Furthermore, the former Fox News host is under scrutiny for his management style and the unusual in-person meeting, which has prompted criticism regarding security and practicality from Democratic Senators.
