Pentagon Culture War Targets Women In The Military
Biden Defense Spokesperson John Kirby has criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s military leadership purge, which has resulted in the firing or blocking of promotions for over 80 generals and admirals, many of whom are Black or women. Kirby argues that Hegseth’s actions are weakening the military and undermining national security. The Pentagon has denied any bias in its promotion process, but Hegseth has previously argued that diversity efforts weaken the military. This article was first reported by HuffPost.
