US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth allegedly removed four officers, including two Black men and two women, from a list of army officers up for promotion to one-star generals. Despite Hegseths directive, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll refused, citing their strong service records. Hegseth then removed their names himself, potentially violating military rules. The Pentagon and Hegseths chief of staff deny any bias or politics in promotions, labeling the story as fake news. This incident aligns with Hegseths pattern of targeting woke influences and removing high-ranking female officers. The full impact remains unclear as the list awaits Senate approval.
