Hegseth cuts general ranks, creates drone command, accuses media of treason

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered his second State of the Force address at Marine Corps Base Quantico on Wednesday, announcing a 20% cut to general and admiral positions, doubling a 10% reduction ordered in 2025, and creating a new drone and autonomous weapons command. He also accused media outlets of "treason" for reporting on munitions stockpiles during the ongoing war with Iran, while repeating criticism of "woke" culture in the military.
