US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced plans to cut the number of generals and admirals by 20% by January 1, 2027. In a major overhaul of military leadership, Hegseth reiterated his "warriors, not woke" mantra and warned that officers unwilling to embrace his vision could be pushed out. DW's Shannon Redstall discusses the implications with Carrie A. Lee of the German Marshall Fund and Brent Sadler, a former Navy captain and senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation. #pentagon #usa #army #dwnews For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews ►Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/DWNews/ Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1
