We wrote Tuesday about Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield - US representative to NATO - fired for publicly dissing POTUS. Now we see another woman officer getting sacked for the same offense: publicly disagreeing with the Commander in Chief’s policies.
This time - Col. Susannah Meyers is the culprit. She was the commander of the Space Force base in Greenland which the VP and Second Lady visited recently Her electronic message:
“[I] spent the weekend thinking about Friday’s visit — the actions taken, the words spoken, and how it must have affected each of you,” she wrote to her subordinates in the email obtained by Military.com and verified by the Space Force.
“I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the US administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base.”
“I commit that, for as long as I am lucky enough to lead this base, all of our flags will fly proudly — together,” Meyers added.
Her “luck” just ran out. Meyers was relieved of duty as post commander, effectively ending her career. She was planning to retire and perhaps figured she had nothing to lose.
It appears that DEI has placed a number of like-minded individuals in places of authority in the military. I expect we will see several more such stories in the days and weeks ahead.
