@patriotstories: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia, one of the Pentagon’s most senior military planners. Sylvia led strategy, plans and policy for the Joint Chiefs of Staff — the powerful position known as J5. The Pentagon has not publicly said why he was removed, and no replacement has been announced. The timing is drawing attention because D. Trump is weighing possible renewed U.S. strikes on Iran. U.S. officials have warned regional allies to prepare for possible military action and Iranian retaliation, but D. Trump has not made a final decision. Sylvia is also the second general removed from the J5 role under Hegseth. Do you think changing a top military planner during a major regional crisis could affect U.S. strategy? #PeteHegseth #Pentagon #USMilitary #Iran #Pol*tics
