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.

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.

**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Sarah Thompson on Trump’s Return and Military Restructuring**
**Editor:** Today, we have Dr. Sarah Thompson, a renowned political analyst, here to discuss the recent developments following Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election. Dr. Thompson, thank you for joining us.
**Dr. Thompson:** Thank you for having me.
**Editor:** There’s a lot of buzz about Trump’s return to the White House, especially concerning reports about military restructuring. Can you explain the significance of the expected firings at the Pentagon, particularly of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?
**Dr. Thompson:** Certainly. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is a pivotal role in the U.S. military, serving as the principal military advisor to the president. If Trump is indeed planning to dismiss top military officials, it would suggest a significant shift in military leadership and strategy, reflecting his desire to reshape the armed forces in line with his administration’s priorities.
**Editor:** Speaking of priorities, what might be Trump’s motivations for bringing in figures like Elon Musk, who previously criticized him?
**Dr. Thompson:** Trump often looks to leverage influential figures who command public attention and media engagement. Musk, with his vast resources and innovative approach, could play a crucial role in areas such as technology and defense, potentially bridging gaps between the military and private sector advancements. It’s a strategic alliance that could benefit both parties.
**Editor:** We’re also seeing a reaction from the military community. What impact might these changes have on morale within the armed forces?
**Dr. Thompson:** Dismissals at high levels can create uncertainty and unrest among military personnel. When leadership changes are abrupt and politically motivated rather than based on merit, it can lead to diminished confidence in the command structure. Maintaining morale during such transitions will be critical for operational effectiveness.
**Editor:** as we look ahead, what should we watch for in the coming weeks?
**Dr. Thompson:** Keep an eye on the composition of Trump’s new military appointments and how they align with his foreign policy objectives. Additionally, the reactions from current military leaders and Congress will be telling, especially regarding oversight and checks on Trump’s plans. The interplay between these forces will shape the future of U.S. military policy.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Thompson, for your insights on this evolving situation.
**Dr. Thompson:** My pleasure, thank you for having me.
