"Pete Hegseth, who likes to call himself 'secretary of war,' has sparked controversies by firing various military leaders and blocking the promotions of Black and female officers. Yesterday, news broke that he fired the Army’s chief of staff, the highest-ranking officer in the Department of the Army. On the same day, Hegseth also fired the Army’s chief of chaplains."

"He’s turned the Department of Defense into the Department of Holy War. Here we are at WAR, or at OPERATION, and he’s continuing his spree of firing, demoting, or blocking promotions for anyone who doesn’t fit his White Male Christian Nationalist TheoBro image…."

"By now you’ve heard that Pete Hegseth fired the Army’s top general this week and replaced him with his personal aide. What you may not have heard is that the firing was just the most visible piece of a much larger operation.

Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and women senior officers across all four branches of the military."
