A General Many Hoped Would Lead the Army Is Forced to Step Aside

Gen. Christopher T. Donahue was seen as a rising star in the Army. But Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth viewed him with skepticism.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has forced Gen. Christopher T. Donahue, the top U.S. Army commander in Europe, to retire, a blow to those who saw him as a key leader of the military’s push to adapt to a future battlefield dominated by drones and artificial intelligence, defense officials said.

The general spent most of his Army career in the secretive world of U.S. military special operations, first as an Army Ranger and later as a commando in the elite Delta Force, where he rose to become the unit’s commanding officer.

It is unclear why Mr. Hegseth, who has fired or sidelined many of the Army’s most experienced combat leaders over the last 18 months, viewed General Donahue with skepticism. The general has long been seen as one of the Army’s rising stars. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/us/politics/general-christopher-donahue-hegseth.html

That's not good at all.

The news of 4 star General Donahue departing prematurely is alarming.

It seems unlikely, but let's hope congress' GOP leaders develop some spine, and take constructive action on this.
