The Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard has been terminated over concerns about the border, recruitment and an "erosion of trust," a senior DHS official confirmed to Fox News.

Adm. Linda Lee Fagan, 61, has been terminated by the Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Benjamine Huffman, the official said.

Fagan has demonstrated leadership deficiencies, operational failures and an inability to advance the strategic objectives of the Coast Guard.

These include the failure to address border security threats, insufficient leadership in recruitment and retention, mismanagement in acquiring key acquisitions such as icebreakers and helicopters, excessive focus on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and an "erosion of trust" over the mishandling and cover-up of Operation Fouled Anchor, which was the Coast Guard's internal investigation into sexual assault cases at the Coast Guard Academy.

The "ghost admiral" at the U.S. Maritime Administration needs to go next...

@KurtSchlichter
Because she was relieved for failing to perform adequately, she should not be allowed to retire at her present rank. Should be allowed should be allowed to retire at the last rank she served adequately, which by definition cannot be the rank where she was relieved.
Start retiring these failed flag officers below rank and you’ll see a major turnaround in effectiveness.

Too many thousands, I suspect.
