Europe Dismayed as Respected Top US General Chris Donahue ousted by Hegseth. The last man out of Afghanistan, widely admired among all ranks of NATO nations.

Widely admired by NATO is prob not a good thing.
Perhaps they can hire him as a consultant or general for themselves, if his loss makes them that sad. Here he was surplus to requirements.
[Newsweek] One of the United States' most senior and respected generals is stepping down, becoming the latest top military official to leave during President Donald Trump's second term, in a move that could pave the way for dramatic changes to the U.S. presence in Europe.

General Chris Donahue, the head of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, as well as all NATO land forces in Europe, is resigning from his position as the top U.S. Army chief on the continent and will officially relinquish his command on July 2, according to a U.S. military official. The ceremony marking the end of Donahue's time as the head of Allied Land Command will follow roughly a week later, the U.S. military official told Newsweek.

A popular figure in Europe who has spent just 18 months in the job, Donahue is widely known as the last man out of Afghanistan and was seen as linked to the Biden administration, although he is generally admired by U.S. and NATO soldiers across ranks and political affiliations.
