Tool singer Maynard James Keenan has publicly supported his former West Point Academy classmate, General Randy George, following his immediate retirement by Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth for reasons not yet disclosed. George was ousted during the middle of Donald Trump's air war in Iran, which some military observers called "insane". Keenan shared his time at West Point and shared his memories of George's time there. He expressed his support for George, who had a distinguished military career and served in the military. The Pentagon confirmed George's early retirement but gave no reason for his dismissal.
