Summary
The Trump administration fired Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, the only woman on NATO’s military committee, reportedly due to past statements supporting diversity.
Chatfield, a decorated Navy pilot and Afghanistan veteran, appeared on a conservative “woke” watchlist targeting senior military officials who promoted DEI.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, leading the anti-DEI campaign, made the call, though it’s unclear if Trump directly ordered it.
Chatfield is the third top female officer dismissed under Trump. Critics warned the firings undermine military leadership and damage U.S. alliances.
Funnily enough - as a transgender man, I am signed up for the Selective Service (they make you do it for FAFSA - get flagged if you put down male anywhere.) I’ve heard that I was supposed to get some sort of letter disqualifying me, but I just got the regular card. Guess I could be marching next to y’all in WW3.
Nah, you’d be disqualified during intake. Silver lining I guess?
If you’re 26 or older, you’re legally aged out of it (not that i think that means much at this point)
