US Generals Sound Alarm Over Trump’s Destruction of Military

Current and former top military leaders are sounding the alarm and delivering an urgent and dire warning about the Trump regime crippling our military readiness, crippling our military, and making the United States weaker than it's ever been before. In the past 24 hours, we have learned the following. It seems that US Army Chief of Staff, four-star general Randy George, who was the most respected member of our military who was fired in April by the Trump regime, he was launching an investigation into the Apache flyover of Kid Rocks Home. And that was one of the main reasons why Pete Heggsiff, along with one of his goons, an individual by the name of General Chris Leneve, a very jealous and not so respected general within the military, worked together to team up to force out the very well-respected Randy George, the Army Chief of Staff, currently there is no Senate-confirmed Army Chief of Staff, and numerous other top generals were forced out and fired by Heggsiff as well. Here is what the Washington Post reported, had tipped to Dan Lamuth, who's been getting some incredible scoops. Explosive, days before General Randy George was fired by Defense Secretary Pete Heggsiff in April, he was advised by another officer to drop the investigation into the Apache helicopter flyby at Kid Rocks Mansion. That officer is General Chris Leneve, who is now vying for the job. Leneve is working with Heggsiff to gut the cutting-edge drone program that learns the lessons from Ukraine and that was pioneered by General Randy George, and they are focusing on a back to the basics approach to focus on what they refer to as a warrior ethos fueled by testosterone and not with technology. So here's what Lamuth and Washington Post report. One person familiar with the matter, told the Washington Post that General Chris Leneve said directly to General George, Randy George, the former Army Chief of Staff, that Heggsiff did not want the investigation to proceed into the Apache helicopters who did the flyby of Kid Rocks home. Two others said George told colleagues about the encounter with Leneve and seemed very troubled by it. Chris's team intends to nominate Leneve to be the Chief of Staff, and is actively coordinating with Senate partners to lock in the optimal moment to do so. Is what the spokesman Sean Parnell said. The Army has no confirmed Chief of Staff as of now, and we do believe there are Republican holdouts, even Magga Republican holdouts in the Senate, because Randy George, from Iowa, by the way, was a very popular general, probably the most popular general and most well-respected and decorated general in the United States Army by far, and in the United States military probably as well who was forced out. Now this comes at the same time, that Lieutenant General Kellogg or former Lieutenant General Kellogg, who was at one point in time, Trump's special envoy to Ukraine. In Russia, but then Putin said, "We will not negotiate with you," so Trump removed him from that post, and he just became the envoy to Ukraine. He's calling out Kushner and Whitcoff as being horrible negotiators as well. Just a fact about Kellogg, I'm not a fan of Kellogg at all. I do want to note that he served 36 years though in the military, and his service included the command of the 86 Airborne Division. He says a lot of neocon war-mongering stuff that I don't agree with, but I do think it is noteworthy what he is saying right now about the Trump regime. He was a top member of the Trump regime. He says, "Witcoff and Kushner have never seen war like in Ukraine. They may know real estate, I do not. They do not understand war, Russia, the enemy, or the human cost. Creating them in these talks is a mistake, because this is not their skill." He goes on to say, "On Independence Day for Ukraine, no official U.S. representative came. Finland's president came to Ukraine, Britain's prime minister came. You cannot negotiate Ukraine's future without seeing Ukraine at war. I came as a private citizen. You need to see what Ukrainians lived through." Hey, Kellogg, did it ever occur to you that Donald Trump wants Ukraine to surrender to Putin? He wants Putin to take over Eastern Ukraine. You want to talk about Independence Day, Kellogg? On United States Independence Day, on our 250th anniversary, Trump spent 90 minutes on the phone with Vladimir Putin. I'm just giving you my opinion protected by the First Amendment, which you can feel free to disagree with. When I believe Putin and Trump on that call, we're hatching out a plan to tap Zelensky along by having Trump pretend to give Zelensky Patriot Interceptors or Patriot Interceptor licenses, which Trump promised at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey. And then when July was concluded to say, "Oopsies, we're not going to give it to you. Sorry, we don't trust you. We're not going to give you the Interceptors to allow Putin to be able to build up even more ballistic missiles and to tap Zelensky along and say, "Can you stop blowing up some of these tankers and other Russian ships? Don't you want those Interceptors, right?" And then drags Zelensky along and then say, "Oopsies, we're not going to give it to you." Kellogg goes on to say, "Russia did not want me. On the negotiating team, Washington should have told Moscow, "You don't choose our negotiator. We do." Instead, they let Putin shape it and broaden his friends. I wanted to handle both Ukraine and Russia, but the president decided otherwise. People talking about business deals with Russia are being foolish. Putin sells them his world. They buy it. He tells them, "I'll give you a mazerati." And they believe him. Some negotiators need to step back and look at reality. I mean, is that the former envoy to Ukraine and Russia accusing the U.S. negotiators of taking bribes? Publicly, it sounds like that's what he's saying. And then he goes on to say, "U.S. defense giants like Lockheed Martin, fear giving Ukraine licenses for their IP, I think this is the wrong business call. Ukraine can move faster and build better fixes. I will tell Trump what I think he should do. Give you cradians a chance. Who do you think is telling Lockheed and Raytheon not to give the licenses? You don't think that they would give the licenses if they were able to control all of the IP in perpetuity or for at least the next 50 years? It would actually benefit them, in my opinion. In my opinion, Trump is the one telling them, "Do not give those licenses. You want the billions of dollars in government contracts. Go along with what I'm saying, and I'm going to blame it on you." It's a cowardly, Trumpian thing to do. Do you snore? Did somebody hand you a CPAP and to do quietly stop using it?

It should also be noted that MS now reporting that Pete Hegsith has faced a record number of military conscientious objectors. Troops fighting against Iran and alleged drug smugglers say they are being asked to violate international law organizations that help service members apply to leave the military as conscientious objectors are seeing a large increase in concerns over US military strikes against alleged drug boats, targets inside Iran. One service member is concerned the military blew up bridges in Iran that were not military targets. Another thinks Pentagon leaders are not doing enough to prevent civilian deaths during air strikes inside Iran. Yet another asks questions about how the military knew it was not killing civilians when launching missiles at boats it believed were trafficking drugs. MS now spoke to five troops who won out of the military because in recent months it challenged their moral beliefs. And it talks about how six months into this war were seeing record high conscientious objectorates the highest that Mike Prizener who runs a hotline to help service members file as conscientious objectors at the center on conscience and war said his group has seen applications increased by six times their normal rate since epic fury and it's the highest at any point in the past 25 years. We're hearing other leaks from top military officials, the Washington Post reporting how U.S. weapon shortages from Iran war are alarming allies confronting China, but concerns are especially growing within the Pentagon and amongst our military leaders who are overseeing the regions and the countries in Asia and our military capabilities there. One U.S. official says more than 30 ships that were supposed to be in the Pacific had been shifted to the Middle East during the war. Now Putin obviously sees weakness. It was reported that CIA director John Ratcliffe flew to Moscow and the Wall Street Journal says to give a warning, not about Ukraine but about NATO countries. Don't attack NATO countries or else Putin responded by immediately hacking Norway and launching a major hack, China responded by launching a major hack at the United States Senate, the Federal Reserve and other agencies which the U.S. claims it stopped the China hack but we know that the U.S. lies about everything. Putin and I believe along with Belarus planning a massive strike and a massive northern front invasion of Ukraine during the winter. You can see the troop formations heading in that direction. There are some military officials warning that they believe that Putin may use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine. It's clear that both Putin and China and North Korea see the United States as weaker than ever, having run out of weapons, having run out of interceptors and tomahawks and attack systems and as this article explains, 30 ships that were supposed to be in the Pacific shifted to the Middle East during the war, not returning and the main aircraft carrier in the Pacific. The USS George Washington was forced to leave because the logistics were so utterly awful. I showed you general McCaffrey statement as well yesterday about how the logistics of the United States military has been so crippled and Iran was able to just piece by piece surgically rip apart U.S. logistics and the ability of the U.S. to even provide food and mail and basic necessities to our service members. Look, Donald Trump is someone who's bankrupted in most things he's touched in his life. He's bankrupted company after company, entity, entity, so it's not a shocker. He's bankrupting our military and he doesn't consider, he doesn't have the right leadership that considers real basic stuff when it comes to logistics for Trump and hexith and people like that. That's boring stuff. That's not being lethal. Hexith yesterday did a deranged presser where he said, this is the warrior ethos. The world is watching and they see how strong we are here. Play this clip. You see a military that downplays its frontline heroes to avoid uncomfortable political truths only projects weakness. The world watches how we treat our heroes. When they see a United States that fiercely defends champions and unties the hands of its war fighters, a country that corrects injustices and honors value, valor at the point of friction, they see an ironclad resolve of an unbreakable republic. Yeah. Actually, the world sees how weak we are. We've never been weaker as a country right now and that's on full display. By the way, speaking about those conscientious objectors, that follows the report by pro-publica two days ago about how top commanders told Hexith not to cut civilian protection programs that would avoid civilian casualties and war crimes. But Hexith ignored what the generals were saying, and he cut the civilian protection programs, and it was predictable that you would see war crimes with Hexith doing this stuff. You saw the war crime, for example, in Manab 168 little schoolgirl slaughtered in Lamar 1617 young girls playing volleyball slaughtered in the first day or so of the war, that's Hexith for you. And then, I want to chat about this quickly, which is a West Point professor was fired after pushing back on limitations to teaching climate change, stars and stripes is reporting. A civilian geography professor was fired from the US military academy at West Point for pushing back after department officials, barred faculty from teaching that humans contribute to climate change. Adam Coxstein, a climate scientist who spent 17 years teaching future army officers said he consistently received outstanding appraisals of his work when leadership last year imposed a ban on teaching that humans contribute to climate change. He tried to comply, but ultimately pushed back, saying that it was a disservice to the cadets education. We're only telling cadets part of the story, we're lying to them, deceiving them. It would be like trying to teach the law without being able to even mention the Constitution. Coxstein said, "Well, Coxstein, that's what the Trump regime wants to do. They don't want the Constitution being taught. Donald Trump has ripped two shreds, the Constitution, that's for sure. Lastly, I'll remind you all of the New York Times article from two days ago, how Hegsitz purge of top generals has left the army rudderless. The army has not had a chief of staff. The service is top officer since Hegsitz fired Randy George, apparently for launching an investigation into the Apache flyover of Kid Rocks Mansion. By the way, you remember what Hegsitz posted at that time as well. Hegsitz posted in support of it and he's like, "Carry on, no investigation." I mean, again, just so utterly embarrassing. The article goes on to talk about a lot of the other critical positions that also have been not filled. It talks about one measure of the vacuum at the top of the army is the number of four-star general serving in its ranks. As recently as January 2025, when Hegsitz took office, there were ten four-star generals on active duty. The service currently has five, the fewest and decades. We got rid of generational talent from the military. Our top people, our top generals and admirals pushed out. All like general Christopher Donahue, who led the command overseeing US troops in Europe. I mean, well-respected people gone right now. They're speaking out against this regime.
