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 are the potential implications of Trump’s dismissal of key military officials on U.S. foreign relations?
**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Rebecca Hartman on the Implications of Donald Trump’s Presidential Victory**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Hartman. A lot has happened in the political landscape since Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election. What are your thoughts on the current dynamics between Trump and notable figures like Elon Musk, who have had a complicated relationship in the past?
**Dr. Hartman:** Thank you for having me. It’s quite intriguing to see someone like Elon Musk, who has publicly criticized Trump in the past, find a role in his administration. This indicates a shift in alliances that could reshape various policies, particularly in technology and space, which are crucial for national security.
**Interviewer:** Speaking of national security, there are reports that Trump plans to make significant staffing changes within the Pentagon, including the dismissal of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. What do you think this means for the U.S. military’s future?
**Dr. Hartman:** Dismissing high-ranking military officials could lead to instability within the armed forces. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff plays a vital role in advising the president on military matters, and an overhaul could disrupt ongoing missions and strategies. It’s critical to see how these changes will be implemented and what criteria Trump will use for his selections.
**Interviewer:** Reuters has reported that a list of military officials slated for dismissal has already been prepared. How likely is it that this will create divisions within the military and government?
**Dr. Hartman:** There is definitely a risk of division. The military is traditionally apolitical, but significant personnel changes initiated by a president can create perceived loyalties and realignments within the ranks. Moreover, this transition could affect morale among service members who might see these dismissals as politically motivated rather than driven by merit.
**Interviewer:** what do you believe will be the long-term impact of these developments on U.S. foreign policy and military strategy?
**Dr. Hartman:** Trump’s approach is often unpredictable and heavily influenced by personal relationships. If he continues to favor certain allies and crude populism over established military norms, we could see a pivot in U.S. foreign policy that may lean more towards unilateral actions rather than diplomatic engagements. The long-term effects could be significant, potentially altering alliances and global perceptions of U.S. military strength.
**Interviewer:** Dr. Hartman, thank you for sharing your insights with us today. It’s certainly a pivotal moment in American politics.
**Dr. Hartman:** Thank you for having me. It will be important to watch how these changes unfold in the coming months.
