Hegseth’s ‘paranoia’ over being replaced explains purge of top general — as ally emerges for Army secretary’s role

Hegseth on Thursday demanded the resignation of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George’s — Driscoll’s top aide — in the middle of the Iran war for reasons that were not publicly stated, following months of mounting tensions with Driscoll.
