Report: Hegseth has removed, forcibly retired, or blocked promotion of 12+ senior US military officers across multiple branches.

These include "combat-tested commanders with decades of operational experience in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Gulf War & other major US military campaigns" often based on their race, gender, or alignment with Biden policies.

Steps were taken to block or delay promotions of many Black or female senior officers.

Also: “A senior Army civilian who has worked in the Pentagon for decades said people who work there are afraid to talk to one another or their superiors about concerns over Hegseth’s actions,” the New York Times reports. “Retired officers are speaking for them.”
