Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's recent dismissals of the Army, Navy, and Air Force's top legal officers represent a significant shift in military culture. He advocates for a return to a strong warrior ethos, asserting that the military has grown soft and heavily bureaucratic over the past two decades. With this move, which aligns with President Trump's broader military leadership changes, Hegseth aims to lessen the influence of legal constraints on military operations. This approach raises questions about the implications for adherence to U.S. law and the laws of armed conflict.
