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.
So how long do you think it will be before women, black people and other minorities, start getting excluded from promotion by government order from all other work places?
Ugh, and then my stupid country is going to copy you guys. Man I hope these tumours fucking kill me before that happens but who am I kidding, it’ll probably be heat stroke from the el nino.
How long? This is the entire history of the USA.
