Senator Thom Tillis has blasted the Pentagon’s leadership, calling the chief’s management “inept” amid growing pressure on U.S. forces fighting a protracted war in Iran. He argues that the department’s strategic and logistical decisions have left troops underprepared and stretched thin, risking operational failures and higher casualties. The criticism comes as the U.S. military grapples with supply shortages, morale issues, and an increasingly complex battlefield in the Middle East. Tillis’s remarks add to a broader debate over whether Washington’s war‑fighting strategy is sustainable under current leadership.
