Defense secretary’s latest interposition resulted in all-male, overwhelmingly white picks for promotion to admiralty
The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, stripped nine navy officers including women and Black service members from a promotion list last month, according to a person familiar with the matter, resulting in an all-male, overwhelmingly white slate of 22 advancing as nominees to become one-star admirals.
Hegseth’s unusual intervention violated promotion rules designed to be merit-based and apolitical, the New York Times said on Tuesday, and extended the Trump administration’s push to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the military.
The original promotion list included three women and two Black officers in addition to the two who remained, the newspaper said.
Someone took the time to explain that removing people who have experience in logistics and cooking (typically women) will result in lower quality of those services. Then they explain Pete is the one pointlessly gendering things. And all you say is “nuh-uh I still think I’m right and everyone else is wrong” and then also say you refuse to change your opinion lol.
YOU are the only one looking at this as some reverse sexism thing for misinterpreting the original idea that removing people who are experienced will result in lower quality, and refusing to acknowledge the possiblity that you may have misinterpreted the message.
Did you really just explain it to me again??? So you just didn’t even read my posts then?
For the record saying something sounds like something else isn’t misinterpreting anything it’s a fucking opinion. Please keep that in mind, you are getting butt hurt over some random Internet person‘s opinion… And if I was the only one looking at it that way I wouldn’t be the only person down voting them or up voting me. Just because an opinion is in the minority doesn’t make it invalid, and just because an opinion is in the majority doesn’t make it valid.
It didn’t seem like you were understanding the original idea. And idk you’re the one swearing and using aggressive language so it really seems like you’re just butt hurt you got called out. And again you get defensive lol. Well, it doesn’t matter what you say or do I still think you’re wrong and I’m right and if you’re upset just remember it’s only an opinion :D
