This is outrageous. What makes Whiskey Pete think he has any authority to decide who gets promoted to General in the Armed Forces? He's not even active duty anymore.

Cutting experienced leaders alway gets framed as Restructuring, but it rarely feels neutral or random

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans would at least attempt to hide their racism. Today's GOP actually make it a big part of their platform.

‘Pete Hegseth, the US defense secretary, is reportedly attempting to block the military promotion of four officers – two women and two Black men – to become one-star generals. The remaining promotion list includes about three dozen officers, most of whom are white men, though a few women and Black officers are still included, according to the New York Times.’

>though a few women and Black officers are still included I guess that negates their implication that he's racist or sexist. Besides, he's sidelined white males too.

What's this waste of space going to go back to once he's out of a job, help run a trump business? Has there ever been a more useless person?
