> Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is reportedly attempting to block four Army officers, two women and two Black men, from a military promotion list to become one-star generals – though his motivations are unclear.
unclear my ass
I really hope there’s a growing tension in the ranks. This administration has already proved they don’t care about their non-white citizenry.
How can we give promotions to women and minorities when there are so many deserving white males with mediocre talents?
Any time the moniker fake is applied to the story, you know it is real. Hegseth is scum of the earth.
At what point will people realise in the US where they are headed. Personally I blame the gotta get mine mentalities that seem to forget society works when people give a little to those who have less.
They look at the tv series fallout and think yeah, I’ll be Hank. Reality is they would be a dusty skeleton
Minorities make up approximately 31% to over 40% of the U.S. military.
I don’t think alienating a huge chunk of your military is a winning strategy when you’re trying to establish a new dictatorship and starting illegal wars.
This is how bigots behave. He is actually proud of what he is doing.
I dunno why we need updates on everything they do. I understand needing to keep a record to put it on the pile for later….but my 1000 yard stare from everything in the Epstein files I read makes things like this seem like a distraction.
Every day I think about the diaries of the girls, the videos, the pictures, the dentist chair, Zorro Ranch…
I just do not care about things like this that they do and I hate that because I just feel…numb.
Like, as if everyone put it out of their minds so they can continue with their lives.
It makes me sad but also fearful that people just can’t handle that amount and level of horror so they just don’t think about it.
This will do great things for the morale of an organization that is extremely diverse.
Huge POS!!
Let’s face facts, Hegseth will do any and everything he possibly can to rid the military of people who are not white men. You know, his personal, perverted view of the “American warrior.”
Ugh, I feel disgusted even writing that.
The NYT reports that an unspecified number of women and black officers remain the list which numbers several dozen. What isn’t in these articles is research into the comparative backgrounds of those who were removed vs those who remain. Most importantly, who will end up actually being promoted.
DoW = Department of ~~War~~ White Supremacy.
Did he remove others or just them. And we’re there other women and POC that didn’t get removed. Need context
Ah yes, let’s alienate POC’s in the military, one of the most diverse organizations in the U.S. I hope this bites Pete in the ass like a pissed off cobra.
A belligerent drunk, a woman-hating white supremacist, and the dumbest person you’ve ever met in your life walk into a bar. The bartender says “Hi, Pete!”
As an active duty service member I can acknowledge the optics look bad. However, shit bags are not rank, race, or gender specific; and there are plenty in the service. Don’t weigh your judgements off their appearances, weigh their fitreps and how their subordinates truly view them (but y’all don’t have access that), so you just gotta trust that the higher ups know what they’re doing. I get it – lots of biases out there, but objective mindsets are needed more than ever.
Not even trying to hide it anymore.
Pig! Racism at its finest.
Can you imagine the hate for Biden if he had removed 4 white officers? Fox News would then add Christian to the headline and Republicans would be outraged!
Alcoholic Ass takes national title for “DJT’s lil’Sh*t” yay awards.
What’s the opposite of DEI? Discrimination?
I wonder who leaked the information. Usually these lists are tightly controlled.
Competency in the form of diversity is off the table
I know one of the women officers on that list. She is most insanely talented individuals I know who runs circles around me. She has been a trailblazer in formally male-dominated environments. She could be one of these people is tragic. Decades of kicking butt and taking names gone because of politics.
Hegseth wants only freshly shaven white men to participate in his violent religious fantasies.
We really need to keep those slots open for future incredibly stupid and disturbingly aggressive morning show hosts to “earn.”
You mean SecDef Kegsbreath, with his white supremacist tattoos and uber alpha sigma male persona, is unclear about his motivations for not promoting certain individuals of the armed forces?
it must not be that obvious why.
In other news, this morning sunrise occurred in the East.
Probably White women, who are online screaming about the ills of DEI lmao.
Racists are going to racist.
