Air Force General Resigns After Speech: Mixed Reactions and Concerns Emerge
Following a politically charged speech by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Air Force Global Strike Command head Gen. Thomas Bussiere announced his retirement. The timing of Bussiere’s departure, coming after Hegseth’s meeting where he seemingly pressured senior officers to resign, has sparked speculation within the Pentagon. This abrupt exit, along with the earlier retirement announcement of Gen. David Allvin, signals significant high-level changes within the Air Force. As a result, the Trump administration has nominated Gen. Kenneth Wilsbach to serve as the next Chief of Staff.
