The Pentagon announced Wednesday Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield was fired from her position as U.S. representative to NATO’s military committee “due to a loss of confidence in her ability to lead.”
Chatfield, one of only a few female three-star officers in the Navy and the first woman to lead the Naval War College, served in Afghanistan as a helicopter pilot. In her most recent position, she was assigned to the alliance’s nuclear planning group, acting as a liaison between military and political leadership.
Texas congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, a persistent critic of the Trump administration, said Chatfield wasn’t fired because of her job performance but rather for disloyalty to the commander in chief and her boss at the Pentagon, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
“They fired Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield — not because she couldn’t do the job, but because she wouldn’t hang up pictures of Trump and Hegseth,” Crockett alleged, without evidence. “This ain’t about merit — it’s about ego.”......
At a February town hall, Hegseth made it clear how he feels about DEI, telling troops “the single dumbest phrase in military history is ‘Our Diversity is Our Strength.'”

was told at one point when a young man that IF uncle Sam wanted me to have an opinion it would have been ssued along with the other necessary gear I received.
Crockett must have never served in the military. I’ve never seen any organization that didn’t have the chain of command, all the way up, handing their photos. That poor excuse did an office is unfit to lead an organization if she can’t keep her opinions to herself.
No, there can be good reasons. For example, the information the President has may not reflect the information on the ground. Should a Commander obey unerringly, knowing that obedience will lead to absolute disaster on the ground?
Crockett must not know Soshana is Jewish.
A friend of mine is studying at the Naval War College this year. I’ll bet he’s glad miss diversity isn’t at the helm.
She failed to Rember ‘It is always the rank not the person.’
Jasmine is white
Jasmine Crockett is Black
I get what you are saying, but this issue does not rise to what you are talking about.
This issue is totally political on her part.
Take Jasmine at her word and it's obvious that ADM DEI could not do her job, as she could not even manage to hang up a couple of pictures, or even delegate the task.
Apparently those DIY-themed ads of women wielding hammers and power tools never reached Shoshana.
“not because she couldn’t do the job, but because she wouldn’t hang up pictures”
Her job was to hang up pictures. She couldn’t do it.
“Jasmine must be the unofficial Democrat spokesperson”
Many have said that she truly is now. Which is good for us.
This Jasmine ‘Crock of Crap’ is a blight on America.
Gross - look at that nasty wig glued to her hair.
You just KNOW her head smells like an unwashed, unwiped, sweaty bottom.
Zackly.
“In every military unit I been there has always been a display of the chain of command”
The TRIBE always takes precedence, always. For the first 150 years or so of the country, people in power understood this.
Hegseth made it clear how he feels about DEI, telling
troops “the single dumbest phrase in military history is:
“‘Our Diversity is Our Strength.’”
Do we have to see a Jasmine Crockett story every five minutes, just like an AOC story? We all know they are racists assholes and don’t need affirmations from the media.
I think from now on Jasmine Crockett should be referred to as ‘Ghetto Mama’.
“She got fired for her noted comments to her staff about how they were going to resit Trump and “hold out for the next 4 years”.”
How’d that work out for her?
One by one these liberal wrecking crew members have to go, and they are. They hate America.
