The New York Times confirmed today that Pete Hegseth personally blocked 3 women and 2 black men from being promoted to one-star admiral.
The newly released one-star admiral list includes ZERO female officers despite women making up 21% of the active-duty Navy.
Sen. Jack Reed called out that 60% of the senior officers has fired are female or Black at the April 30 Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
The officers he removed weren’t diversity hires. They were one of the highest-performing senior officers that rose to the top of a brutal competitive system.
Call your senator. Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121. Demand they investigate Hegseth’s block of qualified officers.
