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.
This is something more people need to understand. Military orders don’t come down as “invade that city and kill everyone”. They are a lot more specific and worded in such a way that they are almost mundane. This is by design.
One thing we used to have going for us was that most of the top brass hated Trump. They thought he was not only stupid, but also a threat to national security. That’s why Tuberville stalled all those appointments and promotions, and it’s why they are now shitcanning so many top leaders and replacing them with unqualified goons.
