Sean Parnell: “We will not tolerate military or civilian personnel who celebrate or mock the assassination of a fellow American.”

It is unacceptable for military personnel and Department of War civilians to celebrate or mock the assassination of a fellow American.

The Department of War is grateful for General George’s decades of service to our nation. We wish him well in his retirement.

Secretary Hegseth has been a transformative leader for the Department of War and, at President Trump’s direction, has ushered in a new era of Peace Through Strength.

The entire Department is unified behind the Secretary’s vision and will continue working to put our warfighters and America first.
