Trump Draft Executive Order Would Create ‘Warrior Board’ to Purge Generals ‘Unfit for Leadership’ — Pentagon Melts Down!
The draft order says it aims to establish a review that focuses “on leadership capability, strategic readiness, and commitment to military excellence," the Wall Street Journal reports. “Do they start wearing MAGA hats in formation to signal who’s where? The potential for this to go wrong is infinite," says one former DoD official. The Trump transition team is floating a draft executive order that would establish a “warrior board” of retired senior military personnel tasked with reviewing three- and four-star officers and to recommending removals of any deemed unfit for leadership, according to reports. The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that the EO would “fast track” the removal of officers found to be “lacking in requisite leadership qualities,” possibly referring in part to former President Trump’s vow to purge “woke generals” from power. “It’s gotten way too big,” one person familiar with the transition told the WSJ. “Trump also expects that many of the generals, the three- and four-star generals that have been under performing will basically be retired.”
