Top Air Force General Quits Following Hegseth's Partisan Quantico Speech
https://dailyboulder.com/top-air-force-general-quits-following-hegseths-partisan-quantico-speech/
Just hours after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a fiery, politically charged speech at Quantico, one of the Air Forces most powerful commandersGen. Thomas Bussierecalled it quits.
After much reflection and with a full heart, Barb and I have made a difficult decision to request retirement from the United States Air Force for personal and family reasons, Bussiere, head of Air Force Global Strike Command, announced Tuesday in a Facebook post.
The timing, however, has raised eyebrows across the Pentagon.
While Bussiere didnt reference the gathering directly, his retirement came immediately on the heels of Hegseths closed-door meeting with top brass in Virginiaa meeting thats already making waves inside military circles.
