In internal deliberations before the war’s launch, Hegseth had pointed to Iran's muted reaction to Trump’s past attacks as evidence that calibrated force could impose costs on Tehran without triggering a broader war. Hegseth “was caught off guard.

The Administration also appeared to be taken by surprise when Iran reached for a source of leverage: control over the Strait of Hormuz, which roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply passes through each day. In response to U.S. strikes, Tehran implemented a de facto blockade, declaring the channel effectively closed and restricting passage to non-hostile vessels. The resulting economic shock had domestic reverberations that went beyond the expectations of Trump’s inner circle.

Now, Hegseth is firing generals because they know he is the clueless amateur who got the country into a quagmire.

Hegseth was caught with his pants down.

Мне кажется, Хегсет с подачи Нашего Говнюка продавливает в Пентагоне какое-то действие, которое генералам не нравится - либо безумную сухопутную операцию (потери), либо масштабные бомбардировки инфраструктуры (геноцид).
Судя по тому, что уволили сухопутного начштаба, скорее первое.

А может , просто чувствует, что следующий на вылет - решил покуражиться напоследок. Идиот же, поди знай.
