Trump Dismisses Military Academy Boards Over Ideological Concerns

President Donald Trump has announced the dismissal of the Boards of Visitors for all U.S. military service academies, citing the infiltration of 'woke leftist ideologues' as the reason for this action. This decision affects the boards overseeing the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard academies. Trump emphasized the need to appoint new individuals to these boards to strengthen military leadership and restore traditional values. The boards, which provide advisory guidance on various aspects of the academies, have members appointed by the president, vice president, and Congress. This move is part of Trump's broader effort to remove progressive influences from military institutions, following a reversal of similar actions taken by former President Joe Biden in 2021. The White House has not yet announced replacements for the dismissed board members.
