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 risks of military leadership changes under Trump’s administration?
**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Sarah Thompson on Trump’s Return to Power**
**Editor:** Welcome, Dr. Thompson. Thank you for joining us today. With Donald Trump’s recent victory in the presidential election, there has been a whirlwind of discussions on the potential implications for the U.S. military and foreign policy. What’s your immediate reaction to this situation?
**Dr. Thompson:** Thank you for having me. My immediate reaction is one of both concern and intrigue. Trump’s presidency was marked by considerable upheaval, especially regarding military leadership and foreign relations, and it seems we’re heading back into that territory. The reports about potential furloughs and dismissals within the Pentagon are particularly alarming, as they could disrupt military operations and morale during a transitional phase.
**Editor:** Yes, it appears that there are significant changes planned for the Pentagon’s leadership. Can you explain what the implications of dismissing high-ranking officers, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, might be?
**Dr. Thompson:** Absolutely. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is a critical position responsible for advising the president on military matters and ensuring that the armed forces operate effectively. If key military leaders are dismissed or furloughed, it could lead to gaps in essential strategic knowledge and continuity. This upheaval might affect military readiness and could cause friction within the ranks, particularly if senior commanders are removed.
**Editor:** We also saw Elon Musk’s name pop up in this context. What do you make of the tech mogul’s involvement with Trump’s administration, especially given his previous criticisms?
**Dr. Thompson:** Musk’s relationship with Trump is fascinating and somewhat contradictory. His past criticisms suggested a rift, but it seems pragmatic considerations have won out in the current political climate. Musk’s influence in technology and space exploration may offer Trump an ally capable of advancing ambitious projects, but it does raise questions about the appropriateness of business interests intertwining with government policies.
**Editor:** With these developments, what do you foresee in terms of U.S. foreign policy under the Trump administration?
**Dr. Thompson:** It’s difficult to predict with certainty, but we can expect a shift back to Trump’s America First policies, prioritizing national interests, which might involve pulling back from international commitments. His administration is likely to grapple with reasserting military dominance, especially in regions where U.S. influence is challenged. This may lead to a more isolationist stance, which would be a departure from collective international engagements.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Thompson, for your insights. This is certainly a complex and rapidly evolving situation, and we’ll be keeping a close eye on how it impacts both domestic and international landscapes.
**Dr. Thompson:** Thank you for having me. It’s critical to stay informed as these developments unfold.
