Top Air Force General Quits Following Hegseth's Partisan Quantico Speech

Just hours after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a fiery, politically charged speech at Quantico, one of the Air Force’s most powerful commanders—Gen. Thomas Bussiere—called 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 didn’t reference the gathering directly, his retirement came immediately on the heels of Hegseth’s closed-door meeting with top brass in Virginia—a meeting that’s already making waves inside military circles.
