Trump to Set Up General/Admiral Review Board to Purge DEI Dogma from U.S. Military
“The Trump transition team is considering a draft executive order that establishes a ‘warrior board’ of retired senior military personnel with the power to review three- and four-star officers and to recommend removals”
As we recently reported, President-elect Trump pledged to set up a Task Force to look at the infiltration of DEI into the U.S. military:
You remember Matt Lohmeier. He is the former Space Force Lieutenant Colonel squadron commander who was fired, forced to resign without a pension just before his retirement date and subjected to an Inspector General investigation within the Pentagon after publishing his bestselling book, Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military, which tore the lid off the military’s obsession with racist and radical “woke” ideologies.
Matt participated in a seminar Legal Insurrection held in 2022 about DEI seeping its way into the curriculum at the service academies, Saving the Military Service Academies from Wokeness, and I attended an event Matt spoke at in Arizona in the summer of 2023: Matthew Lohmeier – a Tour de Force Supporting our Military Members. Matthew Lohmeier during his presentation:
And, as we reported, President-elect Trump has pledged to appoint Matt to the Task Force charged with dismantling DEI in the U.S. military:
Now, at a live event in North Carolina on October 4, President Trump promised that after he wins the election, not only will he establish a Task Force assigned to eradicate DEI in the military, but he promises to appoint Matthew Lohmeier to the Task Force. Watch:

And on Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that President-elect Trump is indeed considering cleaning house at the Pentagon:
The Trump transition team is considering a draft executive order that establishes a “warrior board” of retired senior military personnel with the power to review three- and four-star officers and to recommend removals of any deemed unfit for leadership.
If Donald Trump approves the order, it could fast-track the removal of generals and admirals found to be “lacking in requisite leadership qualities,” according to a draft of the order reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. But it could also create a chilling effect on top military officers, given the president-elect’s past vow to fire “woke generals,” referring to officers seen as promoting diversity in the ranks at the expense of military readiness.
Note how the writer tries to cast this as a negative through the use of the phrase “chilling effect,” but what the writer fails to emphasize is that the current leadership in the Pentagon is all about wokeness and identity politics over merit, to the detriment of the national defense, as we have repeatedly reported:
- New Documents Detail Air Force’s Plan to Cut Number of White Male Officers
- Space Force Personnel Chief Walks Back General’s LGBTQ+ Personnel Assignment Policy
- Air Force Colonel, Selected for Promotion to Brigadier General, Pushes DEI, CRT, and Racist Dogma
- Next Space Force Commander Grilled Over Firing of Space Force Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lohmeier
- Joint Chiefs Chairman Nominee Soft Pedals His Prior Racist Policies in Confirmation Hearing
- Joint Chiefs Chairman Milley’s Replacement Even More Woke, If That is Possible
The writer also fails to mention that when Barack Obama took over, he purged 197 Generals and Admirals from the ranks, no doubt to re-make the U.S. military in his image: Obama’s Military Coup Purges 197 Officers In Five Years.
In any case, given the current crop of senior military officers and their dedication to all things DEI, cleaning house is definitely in order to make sure the U.S. military returns to a focus on engaging with and killing the enemy, not being a laboratory for the latest left-wing social experiments.
And let’s hope Matt Lohmeier is indeed part of the team that makes that happen, as President-elect Trump promised. It can’t happen fast enough.
AMERICA NEEDS BADASS, ALPHA MALES IN THE MILITARY, NOT PANSIES WHO LOVE DRAG SHOWS BUT CANT CARRY A M16. #H3X6

Exclusive | Trump Draft Executive Order Would Create Board to Purge Generals
Amen. Long overdue.
Recall Milley and Vindman to active duty then dishonorably discharge both. https://t.co/br07IE3pDn

Ty James…
The military is not a place for crazy people. Too much is at stake. Neither is is a place for DEI promotions. I read that the Lloyd was a “first” POC in many of his positions. That also has to stop. Let the howling commence, it is time. I just hope it is not too late.
If you took out all the crazy people from the Biden Administration there wouldn’t be anyone left.
Your terms are acceptable.
Lloyd went AWOL for 3 days without informing the Commander in Chief. He should be court martialed, demoted to 1st LT and given a General Discharge
Dishonorable discharge is in order., through investigation for criminal activities.
How many generals did Obama fire? How many did Biden fire?
Are we supposed to pretend that everything Donald Trump does is new and unprecedented and obviously just what Hitler would do?
Apparently, the way it works is they can fire good ones, but they go ape if Trump wants to fire bad ones.
Democrats are good at pretending. It’s like a mass delusion with them and it’s so bad that a lot of them actually believe their own lies.
Just like the kids in cages thing all over again. That started with Obama, not Trump, but the media refused and refuses to report actual facts.
I want to see Milley recalled to active service so he can face a court martial for mutiny and quite possibly treason. At the very least, dishonorable discharge and loss of his pension and benefits.
Milley especially for calling the Chinese to tell them he would disobey Trump’s orders. Milley was giving aid and comfort to the enemy, a treasonable offense.
You can not give an Officer a Dishonorable Discharge. The most is to reduce them to the lowest officer rating for their service, 1st LT in Milley’s case, and give him a General Discharge.
Really is crazy that the system pushes higher awards for higher rank regardless of actions meriting such awards and doesn’t acknowledge that depravity and dishonor do not have rank limitations.
Officers do not get Dishonorable Discharges. If convicted by General Court Martial, they are Dismissed. Also the lowest officer rank in the Army is 2nd Lieutenant.
Be creative, find a way to make them sorry.
But they can receive a dismissal. This is just as bad as a dishonorable discharge.
You can dismiss them as a sentence from a court-martial, which is the equivalent of a Dishonorable Discharge (and exactly what Milley deserves). In the old days, he would be “cashiered” and have his sword broken across the knee of his superior. (I doubt that Milley even has a sword, but I could support issuing him one just so it could be publicly broken in front of him.)
Not just get rid of the ideological boot lickers but severely curtail the number of General Officers and Admirals. We have more officers of ‘Flag rank’ than in WWII.
I believe there are actually more admirals than ships. No, really!
If you dig back far enough, you will find articles in mainstream military sources reporting that the then new Obama administration was purging (yes, they used that word) general and flag officers who were insufficiently progressive. The carrot/stick was if they went quietly, all the highly lucrative Board of Directors positions would be open to them. Otherwise, enjoy your military pension. By now, that mindset has reached down to the colonel/navy captain level. Perhaps deaper.
“By now, that mindset has reached down to the colonel/navy captain level. Perhaps deeper.”
It’s so deep the titanic submersible would implode before it reached the bottom of it.
The purge started before Obama. In fact, I can give you the specific moment in time when it started: March, 2007. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs at the time, Gen Peter Pace, answered a question about ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ in an interview with the Chicago Tribune, where he called homosexuality ‘immoral.’ Several months later, during a hearing with Sen. Armed Services committee and in response to a direct question on homosexual marriage (which was a debate raging at the time) from Democrat lawmaker Tom Harkin , Pace said: ‘“We should respect those who want to serve the nation, but [we should] not through the law of the land condone activity that, in my upbringing, is counter to God’s law.”
George Bush – a self-described ‘social-conservative’ – condemned Pace’s remarks and later announced (through spokespeople) that Pace would be the first CJCS since the early 1960s who wouldn’t be renominated for a 2nd term. The message was sent and received. The following Sunday, in a homily during Catholic Mass at a base in Iraq, I heard a Navy Chaplain give a very prescient comment on the controversy: “I’m afraid I can see on the horizon, a US military where people of faith won’t be tolerated, much less welcomed.’
Here we are.
In hindsight George Bush was one of the worst presidents we ever had.
Not as bad as Carter, Obama, Biden, Wilson and a handful of others, but yes, bad.
In my opinion, each officer with at least one star should be screened and the woke ones need to go to pasture.
They are already in the pasture — a great big lush DEI pasture. They got to where they are, never having been hitched up or done any useful work, but merely checking off boxes.
Next, clean up the academies, they need it in many ways. My dad and my wife’s dad both went to and taught at West Point back in the day. The problems are not just Biden and Obama but they certainly accelerated it.
My several siblings and I have grown up into adults with very different “outcomes.”
despite the fact that we all grew up in the exact same house with the exact same parents and the exact same K—12 schools. and the exact same socioeconomic circumstances
The whole idea of DEI-forced-enforced outcomes amongst people from different towns, different schools, different traditions … it’s ludicrous.
And it’s poisonous to society. How? Well, imho there’s not one person on earth today who believes that the current Chairman of the JCOS was chosen on merit. Not one. Every here that that’s man goes, it’s like he’s got a piece of lettuce stick between his two front teeth — and no one is going to tell him. Too afraid.
What really would be great would be for the “beneficiaries” of DEI to all band together and demand that this madness end.
This doesn’t go far enough. Every officer Major and up which is where the politics begin should be closely examined. Any involved in the woke/DEI crap need to be demoted and discharged.
Nothing will fix a wrong than appointing people into a position of power that have been screwed by the system. A little anger against stupid will go a long way.
I don’t remember any flag officers resigning after the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle.
They should have been tried for treason for literally giving aid to the enemy.
I want them to focus on the core mission of the military–defending our country–the military should not be some kind of liberal petri dish
