A Navy captain who was the first woman to serve with the elite SEAL Team Six as a troop commander is being pushed out of the military.

The officer, whose identity has not been revealed, was supposed to take over a new role that would have made her the first woman in a Naval Special Warfare command overseeing Navy SEALS, CNN reported.

But just two weeks before the command was supposed to begin, the Pentagon abruptly revoked her orders, suggesting that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had killed the command because he didn’t want a woman in the role, sources told CNN.

The circumstances under which the decision was made and the way it was communicated—through a series of phone calls instead of through the usual channels—seemed designed to avoid leaving a paper trail.

Under the Navy’s “up or out” policy, the officer’s two-decade career is ending as a result.

“It’s f---in’ bulls--t. That’s horse s--t,” said a retired senior enlisted Navy SEAL who served with the officer at SEAL Team Six.

4. Designed to avoid a paper trail

No proof of any facts against the Captain which would have justified her “firing.” Hegseth and his boss are craven cowards. Neither is man enough to face the Captain and look her in the eye. FUCKING BULLSHIT. Well said by the Senior Enlisted Navy Seal.

5. I confess I am truly shocked as to how much

of this shit Senior Officers are taking. I fully expected some time ago for some four star general to go off on Hegseth, a passed over ltc, and rein in the foolishness. But the amount of pride these people seem to be swallowing is astonishing.

It is terribly disappointing, but why should the US Military be any more effective in dealing with Trump than any other branch of our government?
