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.
Hegseth doesn’t think women should be in the military. The DUI-hire is gradually working on it - I think we will at least see a return to a ban on serving in combat roles within a year or so.
She’s a woman therefore is woke. That about republikkkans?
Snowflake Trump literally implemented woke tariffs and was not fired.
If I were in the 0.1% I’d be able to build my own small but highly skilled militia by giving a job to all of the so-called “DEI hires” Trump is getting rid of.
Smart to let all the experienced people go, now the resistance can no longer turn them.
It’s the rise of the Empire
Watching Bad Batch or Rogue One nowadays is like looking in a mirror
By replacing all the experienced, knowledgeable people with blind loyalists, they have given the Resistance the gift of competence. When the revolution comes, the resistance will have intelligent, competent, experienced people to lead them against the idiotic MAGA Nazis.
In addition, there are thousands of good people still working there, who are proud of their work with the government, and hate what has happened to their leadership, their colleagues, and their agencies. Those people will be ripe for recruitment as moles, leaks, sabotage, etc., while the MAGA Nazis will only have ignorant dolts to count on.
It won’t matter if they have the big weapons, if the people they are counting on to operate them turn them against the government, or destroy them in advance.
there are thousands of good people still working there

Why would I out our undercover agents?
Woke list = purge list
The modern McCarthy Era “communist” list
Except this version of McCarthy has been riding Russia’s nuts for decades
And as everyone know, purging your military is a great way to reduce their combat effectiveness.
That’s the point, and Putin wants this
Jesus fucking Christ. America during ww2 would have lost badly if this type of shit was going on back then. From day 1 all countries on the allied side mass employed women in roles previously held exclusively by men.
Look up the WASPs and the WAVES during ww2. Not to mention the sheer amount of women working in manufacturing and transport and other stuff. Rosey the riveter was real. Marlin Monroe, one of the sexiest women of all time was one such gal during the war.
And don’t get me started on munitions plants. Women were employed in manufacturing high explosives from day 1 (there are photographs from the 1890s showing women mixing nitroglycerin and diatomaceous earth to make dynamite, and the manufacture of blasting caps, the stuff using the most sensitive explosives, was the sole domain of women for a long time). WW2 Orientation films from Canada show this.
That woman EARNED her position. She is not DEI. But Pete Hegseth IS DEI.

There’s something fishy about that anecdote.
When (if?) the rule of law is restored to the USA, tax payers are going to pay so so dearly after the tsunami of wrongful dismissal lawsuits…
they voted for this, and should pay.
Make the billionaires who interfered in the political process personally liable.
So this person gets fired for being too “woke” in her statements supporting diversity, but Tulsi Gabbert can repost Russian propaganda and nothing happens. Got it.
Putin told trump, tulsi is off limits
Aka “The Krasnov Effect”
No reason to apply logic to Trump’s cabinet. Anything to attain power will be justified, no matter how ridiculous the explanation.
Why not fire woke Trump who is pushing woke tariffs. fire snowflake Felon Musk too.
maybe stock market needs to be banned for identifying as a bear ?
During covid antivax groups were calling the vaxed groups “sheep”, referring to them as “asleep”.
Now MAGA is calling people woke?
The ven diagram between MAGA and antivax groups is probably a cirlce. I don’t get it, do these people want people awake or asleep?
Good. She was being insubordinate. Crying about not putting up the portrait of her Commander in Chief. Like she had said, “just have to wait 4 years”.
be sleep instead
