The recurring theme in every one of Hegseth's firings of top military generals is that all of them have been discussed as possible Sec.Def prior to Hegseth and DURING Hegseth's tenure. He's trying to get rid of viable replacements for his job.

He's offered no reasons for any of the firings. However, his recurring commentary about them prior to firing is them not being sufficiently "respectful" towards him. IOW, not licking his boots.
