This letter consisted of names of admirals and generals in the military who were big on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). The AAF pointed to increased global challenges, including a belligerent Russia, China&#8217;s military buildup in the Indo-Pacific region, Iran&#8217;s actions, etc., to stress the importance of not having this kind of distraction.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>From New York Post:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The American Accountability Foundation (AAF) sent a letter to the former &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; weekend co-host outlining 20 names of leaders across the military whom it deems excessively focused on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), as well as similar left-wing initiatives, and, therefore, an impediment to national security.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The woke takeover of the military is a major threat to our national security,&#8221; AAF President Thomas Jones wrote in a letter to Hegseth dated Tuesday and obtained by The Post.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As global tensions rise, with Iran on the march, Russia at war, and China in midst of a massive military buildup, we cannot afford to have a military distracted and demoralized by leftist ideology,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Those who were responsible for these policies being instituted in the first place must be dismissed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Prior to getting selected by President-elect Donald Trump, Hegseth, 44, had publicly clamored against wokeness in the military &#8212; going as far as to publish a book on the subject earlier this year &#8212; and proclaimed on a podcast that any &#8220;General, Admiral, whatever that was involved in any of the DEI woke sh&#8211; has got to go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Should Hegseth, an Army veteran who saw combat in both Iraq and Afghanistan, take the American Accountability Foundation&#8217;s suggestions, he wouldn&#8217;t be the only Trump pick to express interest in a purge list.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Additional Reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>King, R.
