With the resignation of US Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll, personnel turmoil within the Pentagon has further intensified. According to US media reports, since Hegseth became Secretary of Defense during Trump's second presidential term, at least 25 senior US military generals and civilian officials have been fired or chose to leave their posts. The “Great Purge” led by Hegseth reflects differences of opinion among US civilian officials in managing a specialized military. On September 6, local time, American scholar Walter Radwig, an associate professor of international relations at King's College London, UK, said in an interview with France 24 that the increasing politicization of the US military is the main cause of personnel turmoil in the Pentagon. Not only is it not conducive to military development, but it will also affect the Republican Party's election situation in the midterm elections.
