Summary

Military leaders are concerned over a list of 20 “woke” senior officers and admirals compiled by the conservative American Accountability Foundation, urging Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth to fire them for supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

The list disproportionately targets female officers and highlights activities such as promoting DEI discussions, addressing racial inequality, and advocating LGBTQ rights.

Critics warn this could damage morale and retention.

Hegseth, under scrutiny for personal misconduct allegations, has embraced Trump’s call to remove DEI programs, aligning with broader conservative efforts to reshape federal institutions.
