#US #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth is blocking the promotion of 4 #Army officers to be one-star generals, a highly unusual move that has prompted some senior #military officials to question whether the officers are being singled out because of their #race or #gender.
2 of the officers targeted by #Hegseth are Black & 2 are women on a promotion list that consists of about 3 dozen officers, most of whom are #white #men, snr military ofcls said.
@Nonilex Token hatred it is called, right?

Hateful, Ignorant, Racist Piece Of Gringo Shit!
“allegations of racial & gender bias”
This would be more accurate if it said “has led some to point out his well-known racial and gender bias”
@Nonilex lol what? People only now discover he is a racist and a bigot???

#Hegseth had been pressing snr #Army leaders, including Army Sec Daniel Driscoll, for months to remove the officers’ names, #military ofcls said. But Driscoll, citing the officers’ decades-long records of exemplary service, repeatedly refused.
Earlier this month, Hegseth unilaterally struck the officers’ names from the list, though it is not clear he has the #legal #authority to do so. The list is currently being reviewed by the WH, which is expected to send it to the #Senate for final approval.
It is exceedingly rare that a one-star list draws such intense scrutiny from a #SecDef. The battle highlights the bitter rifts opened by Hegseth’s campaign to reverse policies that he says are prejudiced against #white officers 🙄.
#Hegseth has said repeatedly that he is determined to change a culture corrupted by “foolish,” “reckless” & “woke” leaders from previous admins. [#GreatReplacementTheory]

@Nonilex@masto.ai I can't read the article (paywall) but it seems pretty obvious to me. Not at all surprising.
