Sources say the Pentagon has “generals panicked” by the incoming Trump administration's plans to fire woke military leaders who prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) over combat readiness. It is said to be in complete chaos.
“DEI pages are starting to disappear from major websites,” one source likened it to a hornet's nest being kicked away.
“They're being archived as we speak. They're committed to cleaning up anything DEI-related,” the source said.
Another source said people were trying to find out whether they were on the cut list. “They are in a state of panic,” the official said.
The scramble to suppress evidence began as President-elect Donald Trump's transition team began compiling the names of senior officials who pushed for DEI.
One source familiar with the plan told Breitbart News that an executive order is being drafted to create a committee to recommend removing these executives, and that the CEOs are “definitely '' he said as he headed to President Trump's desk.
“This is true. [EO] “We have made a decision,” the source said, adding that it is still being revised and may be in discussions with the Pentagon's next leadership.
In fact, members of the Trump transition team have already begun soliciting names from military advocates, including Army whistleblower and retired Green Beret Lt. Col. Pete “Doc” Chambers. Chambers served in the Army for 39 years before retiring after being told not to give his troops informed consent for the coronavirus vaccine.
Also working on gathering names is another Army whistleblower, retired Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Samuel Shumate, who runs a whistleblower website, as previously reported exclusively by Breitbart News. He was being investigated by a group of officers who woke up because of his support for troops who did not want the coronavirus vaccine. .
But officials say the EO focuses on DEI, not the coronavirus, and its purpose dates back to the Obama administration to “reorient the U.S. military away from the woke ideology and priorities that have been imposed on it. ” That is what he said.
“The purpose of the EO is to focus military leadership on keeping the country safe and fighting the nation's wars if necessary, and not on these extraneous factors.” [such as] 'White rage' and gender identity…this whole spectrum of leftist awakening priorities is impacting military recruitment, retention, and prospects for promotion in the military,” said a person familiar with the plan. said the person.
The official said those who worked on the EO have “excellent military policy credentials” from both a policy and legal perspective. “These were people who knew what they were talking about.”
“They're totally interested in DEI,” Shumate, who solicits names of military leaders from a wide network of military members and veterans, said in a phone interview with Breitbart News.
“They are trying to cut off the head of the Marxist snake, and that is the main criterion I am going to focus on,” he said.
Shumate said he distinguishes between officers who promote DEI to the detriment of their forces and those who simply go along with it.
“What we're looking for is someone who actively promoted DEI policies and then potentially ended up in the worst position, such as in retaliation against the military for their COVID-19 duties.”
These names include officers listed in the Declaration of Military Responsibility, which was drafted by a mix of current and former military personnel.
Shumate said there are more than a dozen names so far in the Navy alone, and there are also active efforts through the Air Force and Army.
Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is also on the list as a champion of DEI.
“Mr. Trump is trying to get rid of the chairman. That's going to happen,” Shumate said.
