After the victory of the former American president in the presidential election in the United States, the news of Donald Trump and his loyalists are intertwined on the world scene. Elon Musk, who criticized Donald Trump in the past, found his way into the White House, while now there are reports that top positions in the Pentagon, such as the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard, etc., are going to be furloughed because Donald With Trump assuming the presidency, several officers including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will be dismissed.
In the United States, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the head of the armed forces.
According to the foreign news agency “Reuters”, two independent sources confirmed that a list has been prepared, including the name of the chairman of the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, who will be dismissed.
It should be noted that Trump will take office as the President of the United States on November 5, and a source in his new administration confirmed that the news of a major change in the Pentagon has caused a stir throughout the organization and that the list being prepared is small. There is also the possibility of change.
Earlier in his election campaign, Donald Trump has given a threatening message to the military journals that criticized the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan in 2021.
Another source said the incoming administration would likely focus on U.S. military officers linked to Trump’s former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley.
Mark Milley was quoted in Bob Woodward’s book “War,” published last month, as describing Trump as “fundamentally fascist” and Trump’s allies considering him to be with the former president. He was targeted for infidelity.
Another source said that any person or official who received a position from Mark Milley will be fired. According to sources, the list of people who have been supported by Mark Milley is long.
It should be noted that the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the highest position in the US military and includes the heads of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Space Force.
The plans to fire senior leaders of the US armed forces were revealed a day before the presidential election, when Trump chose Pat Hegseth as his defense secretary.
Pat Hegseth has been a Fox News commentator and veteran who has expressed his intention to purge the Pentagon of undesirables.

What potential impacts could Trump’s leadership changes have on U.S. military strategies and foreign relations?
**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Sarah Thompson**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Thompson. We’re seeing quite a turn of events with Donald Trump’s return to the presidency. What do you make of the implications of Trump’s leadership on the Pentagon?
**Dr. Thompson:** It’s certainly a significant shift. Trump’s presidency was marked by a contentious relationship with many military leaders, and the potential dismissal of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, along with other top officials, indicates that he may be seeking to install individuals more aligned with his views. This could alter military policies and national security strategies substantially.
**Editor:** Reports indicate that Elon Musk, a former critic of Trump, is now closely associated with him. How do you interpret Musk’s role in this new administration?
**Dr. Thompson:** Musk’s involvement could signal a merging of Silicon Valley influence with political power. He brings a unique perspective, particularly in technology and innovation, which could be beneficial for defense strategies. However, his previous criticisms of Trump raise questions about the authenticity of this alliance and how these dynamics will play out moving forward.
**Editor:** The potential furlough of military personnel is alarming. What might be the motivations behind this drastic action?
**Dr. Thompson:** Furloughing high-ranking officials could be seen as Trump attempting to reassert control over the military hierarchy. This move might be intended to create a loyal base within the Pentagon or to eliminate dissenting voices from the previous administration. However, such actions can lead to instability within the armed forces, which is something to be deeply concerned about.
**Editor:** what should the public be aware of regarding the impact of these changes on U.S. foreign policy?
**Dr. Thompson:** The changes in military leadership will no doubt influence U.S. relationships abroad. With potential shifts in defense strategies and alliances, we could see a more isolationist approach, or conversely, a more aggressive stance depending on whom Trump chooses to promote. The ramifications could be significant, affecting everything from NATO commitments to emerging geopolitical conflicts.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Thompson, for your insights on these pressing issues. We’ll continue to monitor the situation closely as it evolves.
