Of course, a President can propose anyone he wants, as long as he follows our Constitutional processes plus other checks in place. But it's also every citizen's right to stay informed about what their governments are doing. Two (2) things can be true at the same time. So, if Trump wants Wilie E. Coyote as the next Secretary of Transport or Al Capone as the new head of the DoJ, the public needs to know of his nominations. A US President is not a King.

Truman fired MacArthur because MacArthur was insubordinate towards him. That isn’t a purge, it’s a legitimate dismissal. In other words, MacArthur got himself fired, not the other way around.
@RobRamseyWizardofMathematics obama accepted the resignation (fired) of gen mcCrystal. McChrystal talked too much to a rollingstone article reporter Higgins.

My compliments; even-handed and clearly briefed. On my mind is GEN George Marshall's little black book. He scored his fellow officers privately and from early in his career. In the inter-war years, not a lot of rank was available to officers. As WWII was looming, Marshall cleaned house in the army, to some extent, and advanced officers whom he trusted. Eisenhower began WWII as a lieutenant colonel, you'll recall. Hegseth's advancement feels very much like this, and it showcases Marshall's brilliance that he had an informal sense of who qualified best for higher responsibility. A warrior board is not unlike what happens in an OCS or a West Point or a Ranger School class: you rank your peers in private and this informs the command on the character of student soldiers when command isn't looking. I like very much GEN Clark's advice that Hegseth be mature in his actions. My personal assessment is that GEN Milley did not respect the president's rank and his responses to the political conflicts in DC were less military and more political than they should have been. President Trump in no way violated his office, but Milley actually did. Anyway, I expect Milley's name will be spoken in the Warrior Board, and I also wouldn't be surprised to hear them speak of Kelly and Mattis.
During WW II senior officers were frequently relieved of duty put on leave, or shifted to new positions - even if successful! Also, there are far too many senior officers.
Excellent interview. However, two points. First, it is not true that "purging generals" doesn't work. It doesn't work in dictatorships. But it does in democracies. President Lincoln purged unsuitable generals, until he found general Grant, who won the war for him. Churchill also changed generals. So did former British Prime Ministers. Please look it up. Second point, re "drop off in military effectiveness." As General Clark surely knows, it is better to be less effective but in the right direction, than being super effective in the wrong direction. In the first case you get most of the right objective, on which you can build, while in the second case, you get all of the dead-wrong objective, which will cost you dearly to undo and fix. That's where the US & it military are finding themselves now.
@@SenorJuan2023 This is nonsense. Where are General Clark's first loyalties? To the commander in chief? Or to other generals? Besides, he himself when in command, purged failing generals reporting to him. The point he made saying purging generals doesn't work, is so nonsensical that it's better if he had said nothing on the topic. The first order of any high level management is the ability to purge failing personnel. Delicacy has no place in high command. The obvious unmentionable issue here, is that General Clark is a Democrat. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But to leave it unsaid, on top of uttering the nonsense about purging, just voided the interview of any credibility. It's like a writer saying he never purges any text that doesn't serve the book, just because it was there first...
@@thesleuthinvestor2251 Trump isn't looking for failing Generals. He's looking to weed out political opposition to set the stage to remain in Office for third and fourth terms. Don't be naive.
@@SenorJuan2023 I learned in school that the human brain is unable to absorb facts that prove that its owner is the problem. That's why Trump's opponents like you lost. Until you open up your mind, there's no use debating. Be well.
If anyone becomes defense secretary and allows DEi to continue being taught, they should be fired. The military was never designed to be a test lab for social or dysfunction behavior issues.
Durning WW2 the U.S. changed ("fired") area commanders many times to advance new strategies, it worked. Lincoln went through many commanders before Grant and list goes on, it was war. Before WW2 began, Stalin and Hitler's purges of generals were based on ideology, and that's very similar to the many U.S. line commanders being fired for not complying to the current DEI policy which is an ideology.
Clark left service - in 2000- so lets ask him - its only 24 years later! Clark was mired in controversy while serving more than once. Cnn - when will the lay offs begin.
Legislation was passed which gave minorities and women the right to some equality in the armed forces. Courts determined that homosexuality in itself is not a bar. Alexander the Great and Ceasar practiced homosexuality, though some might say this was due to long separation from women on campaign. There is historical precedent for women in the military. Famous snipers of WW II and Vietnam were women. To purge the forces based on race, gender, and sexuality is not constitutional. Trump can decrease the numbers of homosexuals admitted by changing recruitment practices, but a general purge will result in litigation.
The corruption in our government intel agencies and military complex has been evident long before Trump came along, but we had no one to help us. He is not your problem the American people are. We are just using him…
The DOD is a huge organization. And that's why massive reform is needed. It's bloated, highly inefficient, and quite corrupt, like most of the bloated federal government.
Are you aware Trump did a deal with the Taliban behind the back of the elected Afghanistan government? This forced Biden to pull out. Do you actually think?

America nominating tv personalities, that have no idea, no morals & a far right racist. What could possibly go wrong. EVERYTHING.
Wesley Clark is without a doubt, the last General Officer anyone should take an opinion from.
If US intrest are focused to its borders and strictly enforced without spreading its military wings globally most of the hot spots will cool down.
America has no interests in Ukraine. The American people don't give a shit about your Game of Thrones geopolitical chess match ..
The DOD is a huge organization. And that's why massive reform is needed. It's bloated, highly inefficient, and quite corrupt, like most of the bloated federal government.
@@fjm1235 So the person to fix it is someone with no executive or command experience? 🤔
@@alviverdeus yeah, and working for the most corrupt administration in our history. what could possibly go wrong.
@@alviverdeus and faces a possible blackmail situation considering the young girls he cavorted with? There will be photos out there.
@@rb239rtr His marital infidelity would keep him from getting a security clearance if he was applying for a civil service job.
nobody more qualified to run a 900 billion dollar organization than a man who’s on a weekend news program.
Camala News Network has not given up even though The 75,000,000 citizens voted for it up front. Promises Made Promises Kept.

they literally did the same when people didnt want DEI nonsense. except they also called them names.
Why wasn't it dangerous to install DEI freaks?

Pete will do much better job than DEI Austin who made the US military laughing stock of the world with his disastrous withdrawal from Afghan.
Are you aware Trump did a deal with the Taliban behind the back of the elected Afghanistan government? This forced Biden to pull out. Do you actually think?
Ah, Donald's withdrawal plan. He compares himself to Lincoln, freeing 5,000 Taliban is quite a feat.
Trump the coward gave away Afghanistan by committing to a withdrawl just like he’s gonna abandon Ukraine and Taiwan
You're delusional.
Clark for President!
Watch the movie "Vice" and you will know where this guy is coming from. I'm all in on getting rid of this "woke" military!
This dudes been wrong for a long time
The new secretary of the DOD will surely breakdown. We can only hope the world doesn't.
Has anyone actually seen the Bronze Star award certificates that Phony Pete is so proud of? Anyone of you seen them?
No "V" for valor. Just an admin medal.
Funny that I did not find Clarke criticizing Austin or Milley.
Keep these relics in the closet. Couch critics are no longer wanted
Sad
Funny you can’t figure out why!
Whi carex what you think? NO ONE!
