The era of woke nonsense and sensitivity training is over.

There\u2019s no re-election effort lingering overhead either, so don\u2019t be shocked if this executive is issued.

But it could also create a chilling effect on top military officers, given the president-elect\u2019s past vow to fire \u201cwoke generals,\u201d referring to officers seen as promoting diversity in the ranks at the expense of military readiness.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><strong>As commander in chief, Trump can fire any officer at will, but an outside board whose members he appoints would bypass the Pentagon\u2019s regular promotion system, signaling across the military that he intends to purge a number of generals and admirals.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><strong>The draft order says it aims to establish a review that focuses \u201con leadership capability, strategic readiness, and commitment to military excellence.\u201d The draft doesn\u2019t specify what officers need to do or present to show if they meet those standards. The draft order originated with one of several outside policy groups collaborating with the transition team, and is one of numerous executive orders under review by Trump\u2019s team, a transition official said.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><strong>The warrior board would be made up of retired generals and noncommissioned officers, who would send their recommendations to the president. Those identified for removal would be retired at their current rank within 30 days.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There\u2019s likely to be a media overreaction, and officers who engaged in this DEI\/woke nonsense are likely to retire instead of fighting this board.
