SINGLE SOURCE

“Given all the well-regarded generals and admirals sacked by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in his political purges, it’s hard to work up much sympathy for the latest Pentagon casualty: Navy Secretary John Phelan.”
CORROBORATED
The evidence confirms that Pete Hegseth is the Secretary of Defense and that he ordered reductions in military ranks. It also confirms John Phelan's role as Navy Secretary and his firing. The claim's sentiment—that Hegseth's actions make sympathy difficult—is supported by the context provided by multiple sources detailing both the purges and the firing.
