Hegseth blocks more Black and women officers from being promoted

[Guno צְבִי]

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth blocked at least seven officers from being promoted to one-star admirals in what appears to be his latest attack on diversity and "woke" beliefs in the military's upper ranks, according to a report Monday.

Hegseth's move targeted at least two women, two Black men and three white men, and it appeared to violate the U.S. military's apolitical and merit-based promotion rules, four unidentified current and former defense officials told The New York Times.


The moves mark the latest in a series of firings and personnel decisions by Hegseth and came just days after he delivered an incendiary speech to graduates of the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York, where he attacked previous leaders as having been “woke and weak.”

As if the Empire's military needs yet more morale problems.

They have all been in the service a long time and have proven themselves worthy of promotion. Hegseth does not like their color.

If you think today's US military officer promotions are "apolitical and merit-based" think again. DEI plays a serious role. This is particularly true once an officer hits O-5. From O-6 up politics and DEI play a big role.
