Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is reportedly attempting to block four Army officers, two women and two Black men, from a military promotion list to become one-star generals – though his motivations are unclear.
For months, Hegseth has been asking Army leaders, including Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll, to remove the officers’ names, the New York Times reported Friday. After Driscoll allegedly refused to remove the names, citing the officers’ excellent records, Hegseth allegedly took matters into his own hands.
