Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson criticized War Secretary Pete Hegseth<\/a> on Friday over the decision to shake up leadership amid the ongoing military operation in Iran.<\/p>\n

Hegseth asked Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to step down and take immediate retirement on Thursday. \u00a0A senior War Department official told Fox News that Hegseth called George and asked for his immediate retirement, saying, “It was time for a leadership change in the Army.”<\/p>\n

Gen. David Hodne, who led the U.S. Army\u2019s Transformation and Training Command, and Maj. Gen. William Green, the head of the Army\u2019s Chaplain Corps, were also ousted, according to Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The former New York Yankees star was critical of the moves.<\/p>\n

“What\u2019s happening with our Sec of Defense<\/a>. How do we get rid of all that experience at this time? Help me I don\u2019t get it. Getting rid of The Chaplin (sic) leader?” Jackson wrote on X.<\/p>\n

“What? We\u2019ve got a war going on and we\u2019re getting rid of most of our experience and knowledge built with uniform time.”<\/p>\n

War Department chief spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed George\u2019s move in a post on X.<\/p>\n

“General Randy A. George will be retiring from his position as the 41st Chief of Staff of the Army effective immediately,” he wrote. “The Department of War is grateful for General George\u2019s decades of service to our nation. We wish him well in his retirement.”<\/p>\n

Hegseth announced last month changes to military “faith codes”<\/a> as he began to overhaul the Pentagon Chaplain corps. He vowed that more changes would be coming.<\/p>\n
