Trump's 'Warrior Board' Plan Raises Military Concerns
News summary

President-elect Donald Trump's transition team is considering a draft executive order, reported by The Wall Street Journal, to establish a 'warrior board' that would review and potentially remove high-ranking military officers deemed unfit for leadership. This move targets 'woke generals' prioritizing diversity over military readiness and would bypass the Pentagon's traditional promotion system, raising concerns about potential politicization. Critics, including the progressive veterans group VoteVets, warn that this could make the military loyal to Trump rather than the Constitution. Trump's appointment of Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary, who shares his disdain for 'woke' policies, heightens fears of a military purge. The executive order, if signed, would enable the rapid removal of officers within 30 days of being deemed unfit.
