Hey, you know what’s a good idea? Firing the General of the #Army in the middle of conflict. You wanna know why our secretary of scotch fired Gen. Randy George, a career infantry officer with many tours in our never ending wars?
Because he refused to remove two Black and two female officers from a list of military members to be promoted to one-star generals.
#Hegseth also removed two other Army generals; Gen. David Hodne, and Maj. Gen. William Green Jr., the chief of Army chaplains, for not bowing to the golden idol.
This means only two members of the Joint Chiefs have not been fired.
Hegseth has fired Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Adm. Lisa Franchetti, head of the U.S. Navy; Adm. Linda Fagan, commandant of the Coast Guard; and Gen. James Slife, vice chief of staff of the Air Force and Gen. David Allvin, chief of staff of the Air Force.
Firing of Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, the only woman on NATO’s military committee, marks a dangerous trend of politicizing military leadership. Her removal for supporting DEI sends a clear message: diversity in the ranks is under attack. #MilitaryPurge #WokeWarriors apnews.com/article/pent...

“Military purges, when driven by politics rather than performance, almost always weaken a nation. A strong, independent, and professional military with nonpartisan leadership is not just an asset—it is a necessity for national security.”

TFG's transition team is working on an executive order that would create a new body tasked with naming military leaders who should be demoted.
A military purge will destroy the service for decades.
