Insubordination
/DEI Admiral fired, as she should have been
As we reported late Tuesday, Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield was allegedly fired for refusing to hang pictures of President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at NATO headquarters. Of course, Democrat Jasmine Crockett saw this firing as a perfect opportunity to blind us with her blazing ignorance. She responded to a post on X by Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell. Don’t worry he sets her straight.
Here’s Crockett.
They fired Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield—not because she couldn’t do the job, but because she wouldn’t hang up pictures of Trump and Hegseth. This ain’t about merit—it’s about ego. https://t.co/W20f4xotwB

Supporting the Commander in Chief and the Defense Secretary is the first rule of her job.

It’s a fine thing to take a principled stand, but you have to be willing to pay the price; now she has, and presumably has no complaints.
(Not to take anything away from her service, but the medals she’s wearing, and she’s certainly entitled to do so, are pretty much participation trophies — she’s replaceable.)

*Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for her service as the commander of a joint provincial reconstruction team in Farah Province, Afghanistan, in 2008. During this assignment, she led efforts to support reconstruction and development initiatives in a challenging and volatile environment. The Bronze Star is awarded for heroic or meritorious achievement or service in a combat zone, and her leadership in this role, which involved coordinating military and civilian efforts to stabilize and rebuild the region, likely contributed to her receiving this honor. While specific details of the citation are not publicly detailed in available sources, her command of the reconstruction team during a period of active conflict aligns with the criteria for the award, reflecting her exceptional performance under demanding circumstances.
