It is true that an admiral is now leading the U.S. Army Europe and Africa command, as well as serving as NATO’s Allied Land Command leader. Normally, that wouldn’t happen, of course, but in this case, the admiral is Lieutenant General Kevin Admiral.
In addition to the admiral in charge of a major military command, Gen. Admiral is black. The great thing about his being promoted in Trump’s and Pete Hegseth’s military is that we know he’s there because he earned his place, not because it was handed to him as a politically correct bow-down before affirmative action.

Gen. Admiral did not come through a military college. His Bachelor of Science degree in cellular biology comes from the University of Kansas, and he also has a Master’s from the Joint Advanced Warfighting School. He’s even studied at Britain’s Royal College of Defence Studies (where, presumably, they analyze past glories, before Britain’s self-immolation).
He joined the army in 1994 via an ROTC commission. Over the years, before his current promotion, he’s held the following commands:
