    As was everything Trump ever talked about about since he refused a secure phone line and used consumer grade iPhone.

    The purge continues. It's so gross to think this racist unqualified bigot was chosen to lead much more qualified leaders to begin with. It's no wonder Trump chose him. Sick minds think alike.

    Hegseth Strikes Two Black and Two Female Officers From Promotion List

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s highly unusual decision to remove officers from a one-star promotion list has spurred allegations of racial and gender bias.

    Mr. Hegseth had been pressing senior Army leaders, including Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll, for months to remove the officers’ names, military officials said. But Mr. Driscoll, citing the officers’ decades-long records of exemplary service, had repeatedly refused.

    Earlier this month, Mr. Hegseth broke the logjam by unilaterally striking the officers’ names from the list, though it is not clear he has the legal authority to do so. The list is currently being reviewed by the White House, which is expected to send it to the Senate for final approval. A few female and Black officers remain on the list, military officials said.

    Today, about 43 percent of the 1.3 million troops on active duty are people of color. But those leading the military are overwhelmingly white and male. Mr. Austin pressed promotion boards to look deeper into the ranks to ensure qualified women and minorities were considered for senior positions.

    In his 2024 book, “The War on Warriors,” Mr. Hegseth disparaged many of the senior officers who rose up under Mr. Austin’s tenure as “cowards hiding under stars” and “whores to wokesters.”

    “The Left captured the military quickly, and we must reclaim it at a faster pace,” he wrote. “We must wage a frontal assault. A swift counterattack, in broad daylight.”

    Since taking office, Mr. Hegseth has fired or sidelined at least two-dozen generals and admirals, including General Brown and Admiral Franchetti. Currently, the chairman and vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, all five service chiefs and nine of the military’s 10 combatant commanders are white men, a return to the status quo that existed for decades.

    Impeachable (as if we didn't have enough already).

    This loser would rather the military be racist--I'm sorry, make that anti-woke--then be the best. Also, this will really help stem the recruiting woes. It's not like we depend on minorities to fill out the battalions or anything.

    this is why I think any black person serving this racist POS regime is a fool…we already had at least one die a needless and pointless death in Iran

    they do not like us…never have, never will

    same with Latinos and other brown people

    You have Latinos signing up for ICE to go and racially profile and brutalize people that look like them. And for what? For approval from white supremacists and a check? Fcking sellouts

    it doesn’t matter if you’re the kindest, most qualified, most competent, most well behaved…they’d rather your position go to the most mediocre white man instead, and it doesn’t even matter if they’re actually qualified

    they also despise women

    What has Pete Hegseth done to earn his position aside from giving Trump a tongue bath every single day? What have most of the people appointed to important and powerful positions in this regime done? RFK Jr? Gimme a break…

    He's made all the top leaders white men again. Between the tongue baths and being Trump's purger of women and people of color, that's all Trump wanted as a leader of his military regime.

    More details from the NYTimes:

    Hegseth later relented and Gant now serves in the position.
