Firing incompetent generals is a good thing. In fact, it might be what the military needs right now to regain the confidence of the American people.
According to a number of reports, President-elect Donald Trump will be creating a commission to review leaders in the military with the assumption that many of the top brass will be fired.
Trump will be using a “warrior board” of retired officers, The Hill reported, to review our current crop of three- and four-star officers and will weed out the ones the commission disapproves of.
That’s not all.
Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth—an Army veteran who has been awarded two Bronze Stars, and who served in Iraq and Afghanistan—said in past interviews that it’s necessary to remove “woke” senior military officials who have left the U.S. armed forces in a sorry state.
“First of all, you’ve got to fire [the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff] and obviously you’ve got to bring in a new secretary of defense, but any general that was involved—general, admiral, whatever—that was involved in any of the DEI woke s—, has got to go,” Hegseth said in an early November interview on “The Shawn Ryan Show” podcast. DEI is shorthand for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Pete Hegseth is ready for day one as Defense Secretary.

Trump and Hegseth—the author of “The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free” and “Modern Warriors: Real Stories from Real Heroes”—clearly intend to shake up the military at the top.

Fox News personality and Army National Guard member Peter Hegseth’s latest book slamming the military’s embrace of “woke” ideologies helped secure his nomination for secretary of defense by President-elect Donald Trump.
Trump shocked political observers Tuesday night by tapping the “Fox & Friends Weekend” co-host — a vocal Trump supporter and advocate for exiling military leadership who enforce diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives — to serve as defense secretary.
Hegseth, who has served tours of duty in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay as an infantry officer, is the author of “The War on Warriors,” a best-selling book in which the Trump nominee blames the “woke military” for the recruiting crisis facing the nation’s armed services.
“For the past three years — after President Barack Obama poured the social justice foundation — the Pentagon, across all branches, has embraced the social justice message of gender equality, racial diversity, climate stupidity, and the LGBTQA+ alphabet soup in their recruiting pushes,” Hegseth wrote in his book, released in June.
“Only one problem: There just aren’t enough lesbians from San Francisco who want to join the 82nd Airborne. Not only do the lesbians not join, but those very same ads turn off the young, patriotic, Christian men who have traditionally filled our ranks.”
Trump touted Hegseth’s book in his announcement, adding that he’s “tough, smart and a true believer in America First.”
“The book reveals the leftwing betrayal of our warriors, and how we must return our Military to meritocracy, lethality, accountability, and excellence,” wrote the president-elect, who frequently railed against “woke generals.”
“With Pete at the helm, America’s enemies are on notice — Our Military will be Great Again, and America will Never Back Down.” --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
