The US Army has made the decision to suspend a commander after portraits of former President Donald Trump and Fox News host Pete Hegseth mysteriously vanished from a command board in Wisconsin. The move comes after the controversial images were removed without authorization, sparking an investigation into the commander's actions.
According to reports, the commander has been relieved of duty pending the outcome of the investigation. The incident has raised questions about the politicization of the military and whether the display of political figures in military settings is appropriate.
The removal of the portraits has ignited a debate on social media, with some praising the commander for taking a stand against what they see as divisive figures, while others criticize the move as a violation of free speech.
In a statement, the Army emphasized that the suspension is a precautionary measure and that all soldiers are expected to adhere to military regulations and standards of conduct.
