Hegseth fired Army Chief of Staff General Randy George, and now we know why: George wouldn't drop the investigation into an unauthorized Apache helicopter flyover at Kid Rock's house. Marcus calls it what it is — not a crime, but a cover-up. Then: the quiet move to strip Dorie Miller's name from a Navy ship (he was the first Black sailor awarded the Navy Cross, for shooting down enemy aircraft during Pearl Harbor without training), so Trump can put his own name on it instead. And finally: the firing of the Stars and Stripes editor and a Middle East reporter for \"insubordination\" — after they said on CBS that censoring military journalism would be a red line. Maddie unpacks the legal defense they're likely constructing. Marcus closes on what the First Amendment actually means and why it still matters.
