Joseph McCarthy attacked the U.S. Army during the early 1950s by accusing it of being infiltrated by communists, particularly targeting individuals he claimed had ties to communist organizations. His most notable confrontation came during the Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954, where he sought to investigate alleged subversive activities within the military. These hearings were televised, leading to a public backlash against McCarthy as his aggressive tactics and unfounded accusations were exposed. Ultimately, his campaign against the Army contributed to his decline in power and influence.
