Trump administration fires senior Navy female officer at NATO. She appeared on a ‘woke’ list

WASHINGTON (AP) — 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. 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.

1. I'm so sick of this 1950s attitude crap. nt

[raging moderate]

3. Yes, and some of it is more like 1850's attitude.

Shades of the Know-Nothings!

[Walleye]

4. Yep, I remember prejudice and misogyny in the 50s, but I don't remember this much hatred towards women

[Irish_Dem]

6. Yes women stayed in their place and men seemed to like women.

And appreciated them as wives, mothers, secretaries, teachers, nurses.
It was a narrow existence for women but men did not loathe and hate them.

[a kennedy]

8. It has been only NOW that superior women have male "underlings" that they all to seem to have problems with.

B A S T A R D S . 🤬 🤬 🤬

[Irish_Dem]

10. Women pulled ahead of men in terms of academic and employment success.

This apparently hurt men to the quick, their egos are quite fragile.
So they now hate women for hurting their feelings.

2. Cause she's smart.............

the present administration want dumb people like their master and savior shithole.

[Walleye]

5. The fact is Republican men don't want to have to compete against women for jobs

[haele]

9. Yeah... there's probably a Man out there that can do her job

As well as she can.

But, no matter those other wussy qualifications like experience, education/certification, smarts and reliability performance factors, it's a fact there's always going to be a Man that can hump more weight or do more pull-ups than she could.
"He's more likely to eliminate Her in unarmed hand to hand combat, so he's more qualified to be a Warrior leader .."

So you need to step back and let the Man do the hard work, little Missy...

[Walleye]

12. Fine, then let them have the babies. They don't call it labor for nothing.

[Kid Berwyn]

7. Ch-Ching! Putin smiles.

And America’s Gorbachev pays off again.

[Ferrets are Cool]

11. Not the least bit surprising. "We" knew this was going to happen. Hell, we knew ALL of this was going to happen.

Yes, That is a big "I TOLD YA SO!"

[Walleye]

13. Unfortunately, they all knew it was gonna happen and that's why they voted for him

[TNNurse]

14. So afraid of strong successful women.

Just a bunch of bullies taking out their insecurities on others.

[BOSSHOG]

15. Fired by a racist draft dodger with a fake medical condition

Fired by conservative values.

[jonstl08]

16. strong women

These three top lady Military members he fired he is just using being Woke as an excuse. Trump has always been afraid of strong intelligent women so this does not surprise me. Look how he has responded to strong women in the past such as Nancy Pelosi and Liz Cheney.

[GoreWon2000]

19. Blatant sex discrimination

tRump clearly hates women despite having 2 daughters and granddaughters. Disgusting..

[CentralBlueTexan]

17. Barefoot and Pregnant

It appears that the little repulsive are afraid of educated, strong and competent women

[Grins]

18. "... comments she has made...supporting diversity in the force."

Would that be the same “diversity” in the force that the Supreme Court went out of its way to say was critical to the military academies…?
