Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Monday he has replaced Maj. Gen. Tracy Norris as leader of the Texas Military Department after months of criticism that her handling of his highly touted border mission had led to deplorable living conditions for troops.


In a news release, Abbott said Norris’ term expired in February and Maj. Gen. Thomas M. Suelzer, who formerly oversaw the Texas Air Guard, was the military department’s new leader as of Monday.

Norris began her three-year tenure at the helm of the department in 2019 but came under heavy criticism in recent months after a massive ramp-up of Operation Lone Star last fall led to pay issues, poor living conditions and a lack of appropriate gear for troops on the mission.

Gov. Abbot is a sexist pig.  This is the modern,woke, military where people don't get relieved of command for something as minor as incompetence.  He should look at this as an opportunity to REHABILITATE her, show her how much she is loved, and give her a year off with pay to sort through her issues.  He looks for someone more competent instead of showering her with wokeness and love.

No woman should be the top "officer in charge" of ANYTHING ANYWHERE in the military.

Sorry if you don't like that.
I don't care.
