A draft executive order currently under consideration by the Trump transition team has brought to light the potential creation of a 'warrior board' consisting of retired military officials with the authority to assess and suggest the removal of three- or four-star officers, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.
This proposed panel aligns with President-elect Donald Trump's campaign promise to eliminate what he perceives as 'woke' leaders within the military, should he assume the presidency.
Trump has emphasized the importance of having a military focused on winning wars rather than being 'woke,' stating in a Fox News interview that the primary objective of military personnel should be victory in conflicts. This stance contrasts with the diversity initiatives implemented by the Pentagon during the Biden administration, which have faced criticism.
While a source has verified the existence of the proposal, a transition official has clarified that the idea did not originate from the transition team itself. Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Trump's transition team, affirmed that the American people's re-election of President Trump provides him with a mandate to fulfill his campaign pledges.
As the situation continues to develop, the potential establishment of a 'warrior board' and its implications for the military leadership structure remain subjects of interest and scrutiny.
