Military leaders are rattled by a list of “woke” senior officers that a conservative group urged Pete Hegseth to dismiss for promoting diversity in the ranks if he is confirmed to lead the Pentagon.

The list compiled by the American Accountability Foundation includes 20 general officers or senior admirals and a disproportionate number of female officers. It has had a chilling effect on the Pentagon’s often frank discussions as leaders try to figure out how to address the potential firings and diversity issues under President-elect Donald Trump.

Those on the list in many cases seem to be targeted for public comments they made either in interviews or at events on diversity, and in some cases for retweeting posts that promote diversity.

    I’m sorry, where do you get your facts? Or are you simply assuming because they are military they did not vote, or did not vote for Harris?

      Well given that 36% of US voters didn’t vote (close to 4-in-10) it’s not hard to make that assumption.

      I’m not assuming anything. I’m not sure what you are imagining I am saying.

        They think you’re talking about the military leaders mentioned in the article and not the millions of Americans that abstained because they weren’t in love with Harris.
