The first female Chief of Naval Operations. They Navy's CEO, sort of.

I bet it chaps an admiral's britches to be fired by a lowly major.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said on Friday that he is firing Lisa Franchetti, the Chief of Naval Operations and James C. Slife, the vice chief of staff of the US Air Force. Admiral Lisa Franchetti is a top officer in the United States Navy. Born on April 25, 1964, in Rochester, New York, she graduated from Northwestern University in 1985 with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism and received her commission through the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) program. Franchetti has commanded at every level, including the USS Ross (DDG-71), Destroyer Squadron 21, Carrier Strike Groups 9 and 15, US Naval Forces Korea, and the US Sixth Fleet. She also served as Vice Chief of Naval Operations before being sworn in as the 33rd Chief of Naval Operations on November 2, 2023, becoming the first woman to hold this position.

you're fired

The fact that SECDEF did not recommend her yet the WH appointed her. The entire Biden agenda was DEI driven. Just some light reading for you.

David Berger was considered the "shoe in" for CJC by insiders, based on his record and other performance-related factors. Lot of shocked faces when he was passed over for the black dude.

What should be more concerning to people than if someone is woke or not at the Pentagon, is whether appointees are linked to the defense contractor industrial complex. That's where a huge part of our tax money ends up disappearing.
Agree 100%

As for the CNO.. I am of the belief that she was fired because of her unwillingness to go along with the POLITICAL aspects of the new administration. To my knowledge, there were no knocks on her pedigree or the way she handled business.
Of course, she serves at the behest of the CIC so I can see where she would be replaced based on this. My point is that it most likely was NOT simply because of "woke" or DEI hiring. Most likely political alignment.

The point wasn't why she was fired but why she was hired. The Biden admin appointments all reeked of DEI. As for why she was fired you and Monello are correct. She was fired because she wouldn't go along with the militarization of the military.

There will always be that question, won't there?
Sure! With ANYONE. You could literally ask that question with anyone.
My post was to ask limblips why they thought this particular Admiral was a 'woke' hire. I got an answer of "all appointments reeked of DEI" but, no specific explanation of why they thought this particular person was 'woke' hire.

EDIT: Just re-read the thread and now I see that limblips thinks the CNO was a 'woke' hire because the SECDEF didn't recommend her.

Not just anyone. Any time I got hired anywhere, it wasn't because of EEO or DEI. It's a matter of competence, knowledge, skills, and abilities, and whether or not I would fit in to their corporate culture.

I'm not saying she WAS a DEI hire, but I am saying that many people, understanding how things have been, will always ask that question when it comes to people getting what appears, or could be construed as preferential treatment. There's no question that DEI hiring was a priority for the previous administration, and for his pick for JCS. Hell, the guy even said as much. Did you not read some of the links?

The first line of this article did it for me.
Hasn't the battle cry been "don't believe the lying media?"
I would personally judge the appointment by the person's record and experience. If they deserved the position (and were best qualified to carry out the mission) then they should get the job. Sure, we can take the media's opinion about it OR it can be researched and judged by the individual.

Currently there are 5 four star admirals in the navy. All male. Women are currently 20% of the navy member. Up from 12% when I was in last century. At the flag ranks, the percentage of women is a lot lower than 20%. I can't locate the exact current percent.

Seeing how Franchetti was appointed during the biden administration, while highly capable, she may have been selected over a more deserving candidate. But less deserving men get appointed over better candidates all the time. There is a perception of some sort of discrimination to 1 group at the expense of another group. A lot of biden's appointees had to have certain attributes that they couldn't change. Skin color, national origin, gender, etc. And some that they could possibly change. Men wearing dresses, homosexuals, etc.

Could be and that's good enough to get rid of her ass. Zumwalt was universally LOVED by the younger white hats, nominated by Nixon yet ran as a democrap once retired. He was all in on VN and agent orange,the same shiit that killed his son and gave me Parkinson's.
To this day I still honor his name (not enough to name my son Elmo mind you). Universally loved, not political as CNO.

Hair, beards, sideburns, goatee's, civies on liberty, DISLIKED freshly painted spaces for inspections, done away with chickenshiit rules ect ect. Shame they named the Zumwalt class destroyer after him. (pos) 50 some years ago I had the honor to hitch a ride from Subic to Singapore aboard his first command. DLG 14,USS Dewey. Only 3 days and 3 meals but they ate WELL! Steak, lobster and turkey with REAL bones, not turkey loaf!
