Loading ...Trump Draft Executive Order Would Create Board to Purge Generals – WSJ
If an executive order is enacted, it could fast-track removal of admirals
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.
As commander in chief, Trump can fire any officer at will, but an outside board whose members he appoints would bypass the Pentagon’s regular promotion system, signaling across the military that he intends to purge a number of generals and admirals.
This seems, again, like a PR exercise. The military’s performance, over many years, has been abysmal, and the American people know it. Get rid of the entirety of the leadership group. Trump is soon to be the Commander in Chief. He should act like one! Be a boss! Create a board to recommend replacements, and as CoC decide among those!
Strider — just for clarity — I believe that’s EXACTLY what this article is saying Trump IS doing!
