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.
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
