Is it true that defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has proposed reducing the number of general and flag officers in the US military?

Yes. A single AP News report states that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced cuts of 20% of the nation's generals and admirals in a 'State of the Force' address, which directly supports the claim that he proposed reducing general and flag officer numbers.
