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.'”

Shoshanna is in the wrong line of work. She should be in community organizing.
With eight rows of service ribbons to Nimitz’s measly two, Shoshona’s value to the Navy and the nation has obviously been overlooked by the cruel Trump administration. /s
Their names are legion, unfortunately.
Check
Or is it Shoshana? Whatever...She speaks French and that should count for something. /s again
Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield should not have hung the pictures. She should have hung mirrors so that she could gaze at her own face.
I see what you did there
jazzy crackpot is smokin crack
That was my first thought as well. Immediately followed by "Jasmine Crockett is an ignorant race-baiter."

Any officer who could be so angry and petty not to mention disrespectful is on the face of it unfit to lead.
If the commander in chief says “hang the picture”, you hang the picture. You don’t have to like it, but it’s a lawful order and you follow it.
If you can’t follow orders, then the military is probably not for you.
Odds are that she’s a DEI promotion. And one that needs to check her own ego.
Im not sure this retard knows Trump is the CIC
Yep. As a grunt pill roller in 1959-62, I knew first hand, that much like the plumber knows, shit runs downhill.
Whether you are enlisted, or an officer, there is always someone above you and you obey the orders that come down to you.
Seems like she wouldn't obey orders...so.
Jasmine thinks disloyalty to the Commander in Chief and the DOD by a 3 star drone is OK.
+100
Oh, for sure. An officer can decide to voice publicly his disagreement with the C-I-C, but there’s likely a significant price to pay for choosing to doing so. It seems many people just have to understand things “the hard way”.
Sounds like multiple reasons to let her go!
I suspect pretty much all Biden-era brass need to be flushed.
No, it’s about Military discipline and an Attention Whore.
Jasmine Crock again?
