The Joint Chiefs is now all-white, all-male, overseeing a force that is 20 percent female and 43 percent people of color

The Atlantic @TheAtlantic

As the Pentagon purges some minorities and women from high-ranking positions, the message being sent to lower-ranking officers is that “they will be assessed on the basis of their gender, race, or politics, rather than their abilities,” @AdamSerwer writes:

Pete Hegseth Is Trying to Resegregate the Military
“Color-blind and merit-based” now seems to be anything but.

Serwer's framing holds up against the documented record.

Hegseth fired Gen. CQ Brown, Adm. Lisa Franchetti, Army Chief Gen. Randy George - in the middle of a war, no charges, no stated reason. Pulled two Black men and two women from a brigadier general promotion list. Blocked or delayed more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across four service branches.

None were charged with anything. None were accused of incompetence. The Atlantic's read: they committed "only the offense of being part of a military institution that Hegseth wants to restock with MAGA loyalists."

Pentagon staff are calling him "Dumb McNamara" internally. The Joint Chiefs is now all-white, all-male, overseeing a force that is 20 percent female and 43 percent people of color.

He said at his confirmation hearing promotions would be merit-based. He could not name a single case where DEI had lowered military standards. He still can't.


Do the percentages matter?   If so, go through every single state and fix the districts so conservatives are represented in congress!

If The Vaccine is deadly as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, millions now living would have died.

And all good democrats know that gender and race are the only factors in making decisions, right?

That would explain why we're so lethal and effective.
