US military chiefs warn Hegseth that Iran war is weakening forces needed to counter intl. threats
One person familiar with the matter told the 'Washington Post' that US military leadership believes that the war in Iran has been “too much for too long.”
US military chiefs have reportedly warned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the ongoing war in Iran is weakening their capacity to address other global threats. According to The Washington Post, leaders from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and various regional commands expressed concerns in the classified August 14 edition of the Secretary of Defense Orders Book (SDOB). They indicated that extending troop deployments in the Middle East, with some remaining until 2027, poses significant risks. While some commanders registered a "non-concur" with Hegseth's orders, they will still execute them. One source stated that military leadership believes the war in Iran has been "too much for too long." Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell declined to discuss internal operational processes or specific risk assessments.
