Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield was fired from her position with NATO over the recent weekend. Chatfield was one of the senior military officers identified as woke by the American Accountability Foundation. Democrat Senator Mark Warner from Virginia was “deeply disturbed” by Chatfield’s removal. Warner further accused President Trump of “relentless attacks on our alliances” and of “careless dismissal” of decorated military officials.<\/p>\n

Chatfield was on a list of senior military officers targeted as “woke” by the conservative American Accountability Foundation, which sent a letter to Hegseth saying that “purging the woke from the military is imperative.”<\/p>\n

Chatfield, a Navy helicopter pilot who also commanded a joint reconstruction team in Afghanistan, had been serving as one of the 32 representatives on NATO’s military committee. The panel is the primary source of military advice to the North Atlantic Council and NATO’s Nuclear Planning Group, according to NATO. It serves as the link between the political decision-makers and NATO’s military structure..<\/p>\n

Sen. Mark Warner, a Democrat from Virginia, said he was “deeply disturbed” by the firing.<\/p>\n

“Trump’s relentless attacks on our alliances and his careless dismissal of decorated military officials make us less safe and weaken our position across the world,” Warner said in a post on X.<\/p>\n

The campaign to erase DEI programs and online content has been met with questions from lawmakers, local leaders and citizens angered by the removal of military heroes and historic mentions from Defense Department websites and social media pages.<\/p>\n

The accountability foundation complained in the letter to Hegseth that those responsible for DEI policies “must be dismissed,” adding that military leaders should be focused on cultivating lethality, not on fostering diversity, equity and inclusion in the ranks.<\/p>\n

The letter said Chatfield posted supportive comments on LinkedIn about a diversity summit and gave a speech in 2015 at Women’s Equality Day. The group quoted her as saying that investing in empowering women can unlock human potential.<\/p>\n

And they also said she was quoted as saying, “our diversity is our strength” — a phrase that Hegseth has repeatedly condemned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
