One pending executive order has Pentagon brass jingling like a fire alarm. Generals will be flying out the door, “en masse.” Before even taking office, Donald Trump is going straight for the jugular. All the silk pantie wearing Generals will be at the top of a list – to be “retired,” against their will. That roster is expected to be long and extensive.
Sweeping executive order
Donald Trump is having a really special executive order drafted up. One which has a significant number of ranking U.S. Generals doubtful of their future at the Pentagon. Barack Obama isn’t the only one with a pen and a phone.
Democrats tried to woke up the military and it totally tanked our national security. That’s going to be fixed the day Trump’s sworn back in.
Trump’s transition team is currently “working on an executive order that would speed up the firing of top military brass.” Wall Street Journal freaked out about it in print on Tuesday, November 12.
The team is setting up a “warrior board” of “retired generals and noncommissioned officers,” they report.
These seasoned experts on military matters are to be “given power to review three- and four-star officers.” Anyone who doesn’t pass their sniff test for competence in the required tasks will be tossed aside. The panel will recommend anyone “lacking in requisite leadership qualities” be terminated for cause.
That’s great news, because once the order is signed, it will “allow the quick removal of generals and admirals.” They can easily “purge the ranks of those the future commander-in-chief takes issue with.” Not only that, they can do it “for whatever reason.”
A fearful atmosphere
The generals who are scared of Trump’s executive order are exactly the ones who need to go. It takes balls to stand up to Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin and Ayatollah Khamenei. The ones cluttering up the Defense Department, spreading the “fearful atmosphere among top military officers,” are wussies.
They’ve been on notice for years that Trump vowed to rid the Pentagon of so-called “woke generals.” Progressives think “promoting diversity in the ranks” is more important than defending America from our enemies.
As president, Donald Trump is constitutionally named as commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. He’s the boss. He can issue any order he pleases and “has the discretion to fire any officer.” What’s different about this method is the fact that “an established board would do the heavy lifting and root out officials en masse.”
The list can be ready the moment the panel is officially created, if they get together behind the scenes and do their homework ahead of time. That’s a likely possibility, considering Trump’s been on the job since election night. He’s negotiating the end to wars in Ukraine and the Mid-East from his seat of “government in exile,” Mar-a-Lago.
The panel will have such sweeping power that it really annoys liberals. The proposed draft gives the reviewers a free hand in deciding who’s worthy of command and who’s a waste of precious resources. The draft order, WSJ whines, “appears hazy on details.” That’s intentional.
Reviews will focus on “leadership capability, strategic readiness, and commitment to military excellence,” whatever that means, they gripe. What they saw “did not specify how officers would show if they meet such standards.” That’s okay, real generals know what those phrases mean. They can tell who meets the standards and who doesn’t. That’s what really terrifies progressives.
