President Donald Trump has removed Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield from her position as the United States Military Representative to NATO, according to multiple NATO officials and a European diplomat cited by Politico. This action aligns with the Trump administration’s broader efforts to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across the military.
Vice Admiral Chatfield, who made history as the first woman to lead the Naval War College, was appointed to the NATO role in 2023 by then-President Joe Biden. Her dismissal, though not officially explained, was confirmed by NATO insiders and reflects a significant ideological shift within U.S. military leadership, noted The Post Millennial.
In comments made when she started as president of the Naval War College in 2019, which resurfaced and received backlash in 2023, Chatfield said, “I want to see members of this team offer each other respect for differences, for diversity, for the dialogue from which ideas and collaboration emerge.”
In February 2023, former President Joe Biden nominated Chatfield for the role at NATO. A 2023 Daily Signal report stated that Chatfield’s LinkedIn account said, “Talks about #navalaviation and #dei.” One post to LinkedIn stated, “Got my wings in ’89 and would have never believed I’d be a member of the Flag Mess standing next to CNAF [Commander, Naval Air Forces] at the 2nd annual DEI conference in ’22!”
Another post from Chatfield said, “looking forward to seeing robust attendance by Naval Aviation leaders at the CNAF DEI Summit this year! Interested in learning more about ALLY-ship? … See you in San Diego!” “ALLY-ship” was the theme of the 2022 conference, and one Navy officer said in a press release that the phrase means “if I’m going to have the audacity to lead, then I have to be bold in bringing people into the team.” Another said, “ally-ship is a key enabler for building inclusive teams.”
NATO should pursue these goals as well. NATO is a great alliance, the most successful defense alliance in history, but to endure for the future, our partners must do far more for Europe’s defense,” Hegseth said. “We must make NATO great again.” Hegseth has also stated that the military will soon “have nothing but the highest and equal standards for men and women in combat.”
Allegedly, Chatfield planned to “burrow” and “wait out” Trump’s presidency.

Chatfield’s removal coincides with a broader reevaluation of DEI materials across U.S. military institutions. At the U.S. Naval Academy, over 380 books are being pulled from circulation under new directives that label DEI literature as detrimental to critical thinking and cohesion. Titles affected include How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi and Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe.

Has this person been politically perverted her entire career ? Can’t imagine how she could have hid that.
What is wrong with these people? Are they really that stupid? How did they ever get in to leadership positions? More evidence that liberalism is a mental health condition. Don’t they remember the oath they swore was to our constitution and country. Not to the democrat party.
Demons in charge in Washington..
OK Pete purge NATO Command ALL
