A U.S. four-star general, Christopher Donahue, is fired after a photo showing him during an Afghanistan evacuation circulates publicly, according to a report. Donahue, 57, is depicted evacuating following a deadly attack involving a lone ISIS suicide bomber.
The outlet links the decision to public attention around the image, describing it as part of a controversy involving Pentagon-related communications and a focus on taking and sharing a “selfie.” However, the reporting provided does not include detailed official statements or a full account of the internal decision-making, beyond the claim that the general’s appearance in the photo became a factor.
Both references provided repeat the same core allegation: Donahue is dismissed after the photograph emerges in the context of the aftermath of the attack, and the “selfie” angle is presented as the central trigger for the firing. No other outlets or corroborating details are included in the supplied material, so the underlying rationale and evidence are not further substantiated here.
