The second-highest ranking religious leader in the Air Force was recently removed from his post due to a “pattern of leadership shortfalls,” according to the Air Force.

Brig. Gen. James Daniel Brantingham, the Air Force deputy chief of chaplains, who had been in his role for just over a year, was removed from his position on the last day of January for a “loss of confidence” in his abilities, according to Air Force spokeswoman Rose Riley.

As deputy chief, Brantingham was responsible for overseeing approximately 2,100 chaplains and religious affairs airmen. He also served as a member of the Armed Forces Chaplain Board, which advises Pentagon leaders on religious, ethical and quality-of-life concerns.

“Our military leaders are held to the highest standards of personal and professional conduct and are accountable for their actions when falling short of those expectations,” Maj. Gen. Randall Kitchens, the service’s chief of chaplains, said in a statement shared with Military Times.

I'll bet the real reason was he didn't believe in the woke nonsense. :amen:

Quite possibly.

I'd place a bet.  Outside moral malfeasance, how else would a "removal be warranted". 

Except for not prescribing to the woke poison, and admininistering its insanity.

He probably believed in God and wasn't afraid to say so out loud...

Beat me to it.

The Zoomies and the Navy are neck and neck with who can be the most woke branch of the armed forces right now.

There are other reasons.  I talked to one of my brigade chaplains one time and was amazed to find out from him at any time there are 5-10 former chaplains in Leavenworth.

The charges range from embezzlement of funds to pedophilic stuff to other felonies.

We had a battalion chaplain in one of my units in Germany get arrested from stealing from the PX and trying to return the items for cash.
