A widely shared claim that 300 U.S. generals and other officers resigned from the Department of Defense is false, according to a Snopes review. The fact-check found no evidence of a mass resignation matching the claim and no official announcement supporting it. Online posts appear to have circulated the figure without verifiable names, dates or documentation. Similar numbers have appeared in older stories about military promotions being delayed in the Senate, but delayed promotions are not resignations. Snopes therefore rated the current resignation claim false.
