Jesse discusses a New York Times report about striking names from a promotion list to become a one-star admiral in the Navy. Women were among those unilaterally removed from the list, as were multiple Black naval officers. These particular paragraphs from the NYT reporting stand out: “No female officers were included on the new one-star list, which was released publicly in late May, despite the fact that women make up about 21 percent of the active-duty Navy. The list appears to include only two nonwhite officers, even though sailors who identify as racial minorities make up about 38 percent of the active-duty Navy.
Mr. Hegseth’s removal of the officers from the one-star list is highly unusual, said the current and former defense officials. According to Pentagon rules, the defense secretary is supposed to pull officers from the list only for moral, mental, physical or professional failings that raise questions about the officers’ fitness to lead.”
