The current secretary of defense Pete Hegseth believes he is depoliticizing a previously
unduly politicized military, not further weaponizing it. Whether that proves an accurate diagnosis can be adjudicated in the upcoming months by a number of barometers. most importantly, will the generals who replaced those fired prove more adroit in defending U.S. interests and less political—or less so? The realities that follow from these firings, not necessarily the firings themselves, or the anger at them, will answer the questions.
