Someone needs to tell the American people what's going on in the Pentagon, and it obviously won't be Pete Hegseth, who is at war with America's senior military officers. My latest: theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…
Hegseth purge of Black and women officers larger than previously reported "Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for MORE THAN A DOZEN Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military." nbcnews.com/politics/natio…
U.S. Army Maj. Gen. William Green Jr., who was unanimously confirmed by the Senate in 2023 as the Army's chief of chaplains and fired by Secretary Pete Hegseth April 2nd, delivered the House opening prayer earlier this year in January:"Beneath the weight of duty and the press of time, we need your grace. Help us hear the whisper of conscience, the voice of the forgotten, and wisdom from above." @cspan c-span.org/congress/?cham…
It should have been all over when he said, “find 11,780 votes.”
The Army Chief of Staff, a combat veteran with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, asked Pete Hegseth why he was blocking the promotions of two Black officers and two female officers who had earned them. Hegseth refused to answer. Then he fired him. Nine U.S. officials told NBC News that Hegseth has blocked or delayed promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military. Hegseth has now fired or sidelined more than a dozen generals and admirals. He is an out-of-control, unqualified former TV host and nobody in the Republican Party will say a word about it because they don’t want to make Trump angry. nbcnews.com/politics/natio…
Leavitt: "You always want to be the most well-read person in the room, and I try to be every day. But Donald Trump always is."
The reason for Gen. George's firing, in part: Hegseth for months has pressed Gen. George & Army Secy Dan Driscoll to remove 4 officers -- 2 Black & 2 female -- from a promotions list. George & Driscoll have refused, citing the officers long and exemplary service.
