Trump draft executive order would set up board to oust generals en masse: Report

The transition team for President-elect Trump is working on an executive order that would speed up the firing of top military brass if signed, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

The draft executive order would set up a “warrior board” of retired generals and noncommissioned officers given power to review three- and four-star officers and to recommend anyone “lacking in requisite leadership qualities,” according to the document, reviewed by the Journal.

If signed by Trump once he takes office, it could allow the quick removal of generals and admirals and purge the ranks of those the future commander-in-chief takes issue with for whatever reason.

Such a move could gut the Defense Department and create a fearful atmosphere among top military officers, given Trump’s past promise to rid the Pentagon of so-called “woke generals” – those seen as promoting diversity in the ranks.

Flag officers are forever firing junior officers for "loss of confidence" so it seems only fair they should be allowed to join in the same process.  You know - equity as in wokeness. :shrug:

I really think the core of of O-7's to O-10's who are guilty of the woke wave is a lot smaller than people think. 
In fact, if you could speak to a wide majority of them privately, without chain concerns, they'd cheer Trump on,
