Military leaders are rattled by a list of “woke” senior officers that a conservative group urged Pete Hegseth to dismiss for promoting diversity in the ranks if he is confirmed to lead the Pentagon.
The list compiled by the American Accountability Foundation includes 20 general officers or senior admirals and a disproportionate number of female officers. It has had a chilling effect on the Pentagon’s often frank discussions as leaders try to figure out how to address the potential firings and diversity issues under President-elect Donald Trump.
Those on the list in many cases seem to be targeted for public comments they made either in interviews or at events on diversity, and in some cases for retweeting posts that promote diversity.

Go, Pete, go!
(But keep any list confidential until after you get seated in your new role.)
Used to be, medals and promotions were given to men who'd proven themselves in combat.
Every day, we get such wonderful reports revealing that the new Trump administration will exceed our expectations. Now it seems that our military will again focus on winning wars and defeating and deterring our nation’s enemies. The AP is shocked, shocked, at such a possibility.
Rattled because they know they are shams and useless.
Government employees always say they are worth more outside the government than what they are in the government so let’s test that hypothesis
I get sick every time I go to the V.A. now. Everywhere are “PRIDE” posters showing members of same sex kissing and cuddling. Rainbows everywhere...
That picture says what words could never say. Thank you for posting the picture.
“Eight of those 20 are women even though only 17% of the military is female”
Sounds like that percentage needs to start dropping.
Woke “journalist”.
killing people and breaking things
what a novel concept
Rattled because the gig is up.
None of this stuff should be made public this early.
It’s just gonna push Biden to more and more unprecedented pardons.
