"While Hegseth and the Pentagon still decline to say why exactly George was fired, his refusal to ignore possible violations may certainly have played a role. George is one of numerous high-ranking military officials who have been unceremoniously fired by Hegseth during his tenure."

"The flyby... saw two AH-64 Apache helicopters hover over a #NoKings protest in Nashville, #Tennessee, before performing maneuvers next to Kid Rock’s mansion nearby. The #Army briefly suspended the helicopter crews involved before #Hegseth personally intervened and announced the soldiers would not be punished.... Weeks later, he and musician Kid Rock went on a taxpayer-funded helicopter joyride."

"Army chief of staff General Randy George insisted on conducting a probe into whether the #Pentagon violated protocol after the #military performed a flyby around #MAGA musician Kid Rock’s Tennessee estate—and a #NoKings protest. Days later, he was fired.
George was reportedly advised by the Army’s No. 2 officer... to drop the probe at the behest of Defense Sect #PeteHegseth.
... catalyst for George’s abrupt firing"

“The policy of Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to bring a “warrior” ethos to the Pentagon by putting it “on offense, not just on defense” using “maximum lethality, not tepid legality,” and having “violent effect, not politically correct,” has given the U.S. a tremendous loss in Iran.”

By the way, the US government continues to assassinate people in the Eastern Pacific without any real explanation, so I will; explain it for you - it's terrorism:

Pentagon Spokesperson Admits There’s a Secret Blacklist of Journalists
When pressed about the Iran war, a CENTCOM press official threatened to put an Intercept reporter on a “list of people to disregard.”
Nick Turse, August 24 2026
Excerpt: "Under self-styled #WarSecretary #PeteHegseth, the U.S. military has mounted the most aggressive assault on #PressFreedom in memory, from an effort to outlaw 'unauthorized' questions from reporters to imposing unconstitutional restrictions on journalists’ access to the Pentagon. Hegseth has compared reporters to 'Pharisees,' who in the Bible call Jesus’s teachings into question, while the secretary’s minions regularly hurl insults at reporters. This is part of a broader war on press freedoms by the #TrumpAdministration, that includes demonizing #journalists; filing so-called strategic lawsuits against public participation, or #SLAPPs, to intimidate and silence criticism through expensive legal proceedings; and employing grand jury subpoenas and search warrants to intimidate reporters.
" 'Threatening journalists with placement on a #blacklist in retaliation for reporting the government doesn’t like is as #unconstitutional as it gets,' said Seth Stern, the director of advocacy for Freedom of the Press Foundation. 'This should put to rest the Pentagon’s prior claims that it’s anti-press policies — like its infamous requirement that reporters sign pledges to only print authorized information — are somehow content neutral.'
"Allee revealed the existence of the blacklist after this reporter was left on hold for more than two hours and complained about a long-standing lack of transparency by the command. In calls earlier that morning, Maj. Emma Thompson, #CENTCOM ’s media operations chief, repeatedly refused to answer questions about Iranian attacks on U.S. bases across the Middle East, disparate U.S. casualty counts, and medical evacuation flights: 'Nothing for you,' 'Don’t have anything for you,' 'No comment.' Thompson then hung up on this reporter mid-question.
#TheIntercept called back multiple times until Allee picked up the phone. 'They’re not going to answer your call if you just keep calling and calling,' he told this reporter."

Now in his second term, Trump had a new leader at the Pentagon—Pete Hegseth—who was far less cautious about the use of American force than Trump’s first-term defense secretaries… As he reviewed maps of the lands near the United States, Trump was thinking more seriously about several countries he could annex.
