Top U.S. General PUSHED OUT By Hegseth? Decorated War Hero Donahue Retires Amid Pentagon Shake-Up

General Christopher Donahue, one of America's most respected battlefield commanders and the last U.S. soldier to leave Kabul during the Afghanistan withdrawal, is retiring after just 18 months leading U.S. Army Europe and Africa and NATO land forces. His departure comes amid major Pentagon reforms led by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, including cuts to senior military leadership positions.
