Trump administration fires senior Navy female officer at NATO
U.S. officials say Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, the only woman on NATO’s military committee, was fired over the weekend by the Trump administration
WASHINGTON -- U.S. Navy Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield, the only woman on NATO's military committee, was fired over the weekend by the Trump administration, U.S. officials said Monday.
Although no reason was given, officials said it was apparently tied to comments she has made that supported diversity in the force.
According to the officials, Chatfield got a call from Adm. Christopher Grady, the acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and was told the administration wanted to go in a different direction with the job.
The officials said they believe the decision was made last week by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, but it was unclear whether he received any direction from President Donald Trump. Three U.S. officials spoke about the firing on condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters.
Chatfield is the third top female officer to be fired since Trump took office.(Indy: The War on Women also continues...) Hegseth announced in February that he was firing the chief of naval operations, Adm. Lisa Franchetti. And Trump fired Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan just a day after he was sworn in.
Trump and Hegseth have been vocal in their insistence that so-called woke policies are dead. There has been a vigorous campaign to remove leaders who promoted diversity, equity and inclusion, and to erase DEI programs and online content.
Chatfield was on a list of senior military officers targeted as “woke” by the conservative American Accountability Foundation, which sent a letter to Hegseth saying that “purging the woke from the military is imperative.” (Indy: Good lord)

The American Accountability Foundation is a far right wingnut org created by your typical wingnutty "think" tanks and billionaire idiots who should mind their own business....
AAF is a member of the advisory board of Project 2025, a collection of conservative and right-wing policy proposals from the Heritage Foundation to reshape the United States federal government and consolidate executive power should the Republican nominee win the 2024 presidential election.[8]
"Dark money" obscuring the donors has been contributed to AAF via donor-advised funds including the Goldman Sachs Charitable Fund, the Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, and the National Christian Charitable Fund.[9] Other sources of funding include private foundations such as the Dunn Foundation, the W.L. Amos Sr. Foundation, the Nord Family Foundation, and the Quinn Family Foundation.[9] The America First Legal Foundation, founded by Stephen Miller, and the 85 Fund, associated with Leonard Leo, also gave money to AAF.[10]
So - as always - we have a bunch of rich billionaires who are so ashamed of what they are doing to destroy America they can't even put their names on it.
