The Trump administration has sacked a senior NATO official who was recommended by a conservative research group to be fired as part of a broader effort to purge wokeness from the Pentagon.
Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield, the only woman on NATO’s military committee, was dismissed from the alliance over the weekend without explanation, according to multiple reports. She is one of only a handful of female Navy three-star officers and was the first woman to lead the Naval War College, a job she held until 2023.
Chatfield reportedly got a call from Adm. Christopher Grady, the acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and was told the administration wanted to go in a different direction with the job, according to the Associated Press, citing officials. The officials said they believe the decision was made last week by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, but it was unclear whether he received any direction from President Donald Trump. Reuters was first to report on her termination.
In December, the American Accountability Foundation (AAF), a conservative research group, sent a letter to Hegseth with a list of 20 general officers or senior admirals whom it said were excessively focused on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and other similar left-wing initiatives. AAF wrote that focusing on such policies is an impediment to national security and Chatfield was one of eight women who made the list.
Chatfield made the list due in part to a 2015 speech where she bemoaned that lawmakers in the House of Representatives at the time were 80% males, proclaiming that "our diversity is our strength." The group said she also quoted a slide from a presentation by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute highlighting "Investing in gender equality and women's empowerment can unlock human potential on a transformational scale."

“Trump administration fires admiral in ongoing purge of senior military officers”——Says USA Today
Good
Remember When Obama Purged all the generals Who said they Would Not fire on US citizens?
That was funny
Buh bye.
She can take her ramblings to a DOGE protest. Lefty issue advocacy has no place in the military.
“proclaiming that “our diversity is our strength.””
That has got to be one of the dumbest phrases ever, and evidently one of the most successful propaganda initiatives ever.
I can’t think of a single area in American life that was not only not improved, but that was not brought down greatly when women entered it in large numbers, not banking, or industry, or manufacturing, or Hollywood, or the military, or policing, or education, or judgeships and the legal system, book publishing, the Congress and Senate, state governments, construction, medicine and the medical industry, science, NASA and space, the field of psychology and sociology, universities, the postal service, federal agencies and Secret Service, raising children alone, every new area the government and law forced them into has fallen apart within only two generations.

Truth.
It sickens me to think of that hideous faced, larda$$ DEI fire chief in Ca who sneered that if a man was in a fire and needed to be rescued by her, ‘he got himself in the wrong place’.

Add Boy Scouts, Alpha Phi Omega, and church pulpits to this list.
Feminism destroys all things of value it touches.
(Feminism destroys all things of value it touches.)
Just like Democrats.
Just like “transgenders”.
He looks like he is close to jumping the fence.
I feel funny having to say those things but if Western Civilization is going to survive we have to quit living in mental fantasies, positive thinking fantasies, fair play and equality fantasies, the process is the goal fantasies, things will all work out in the end fantasies, everybody on earth is the same fantasies, nations and peoples having to fight wars and constantly fight for survival being outdated thinking fantasies, which in themselves are all sort of feminine instead of masculine.
It used to be when our businessmen traveled the world making business deals we ate their lunch, same for our military, we projected male dominance on the other male societies around the world and if one rose up to challenge us then we had to take them on in whatever field it was in, from war to the boardroom, from the competition for raw materials to the international competitions in every field whether science or education, medicine or steel making, the male drive and male nature of being competitive was always the energy in the room and in the workplace, and we were the best.
A Harvard Kennedy School grad woke?
anyone - anyone - in the US Military that believes “diversity is our strength” and/or ‘climate change’ is a national security issue should be fired...
“A Harvard Kennedy School grad woke?”
Yep says Wikipedia. Where all libs go to get their tickets punched..........
I’m actually saying that women have proven to be a negative force once they switched to the men’s world in the Western world, not just feminists and feminism, but even the best of womanhood’s influence and effect has proven to be destructive in the areas of life where it is a negative rather than a positive.
