The SEALs Wanted Her. Hegseth Stopped Her

Posted by: Michele Evans-Brock

BREAKING: Peter Hegseth, an American government official, author, former television personality, and former Army National Guard officer who has served since 2025 as the 29th United States Secretary of Defense, STABS A FEMALE NAVY OFFICER IN THE BACK AND DERAILS HER PROMOTION TO BECOME THE FIRST WOMAN TO OVERSEE the Navy SEALs — just because she's a woman.

This drunken sexual predator is destroying the careers of actual American heroes left and right...

“They want to keep it the brotherhood and don’t like that she’s coming in and challenging the status quo,” a Navy special operations said.

CNN, which did not name the female Navy captain in their reporting, revealed that she was "ranked the top officer for promotion in her cohort" and had received a Purple Heart after being injured by an improvised explosive device during a combat tour in Iraq. She had met every physical standard required of her in addition to maintaining a sterling record.

She went on to become the first woman to serve with SEAL Team Six as a troop commander and "everything was set" for her to take on her new role. A formal ceremony had even been planned for July and invitations were sent out.

Then, two weeks before the ceremony her promotion was cancelled with "little explanation" according to CNN's multiple sources. Suspiciously, the decision didn't pass through the formal channels but was instead handed down through a "series of phone calls from the Pentagon" that were "unusual" and "seemed designed to omit a paper trail."

Denied her promotion, the Navy's "up or out" policy kicked in, which requires officers to leave the military if there's no command slot for them to inhabit. The captain's career, which spanned over two decades of valiant service to her country, came to an abrupt end.

“She was the best man for the job. There is absolutely no DEI ,” one retired SEAL said. “She’s a badass, and also extremely smart and capable."

A "consensus" quickly formed within Navy Special Warfare that the decision was made because Hegseth didn't want a woman taking over the position, which is responsible for recruiting for elite units including the SEALs.

“They can justify it by saying she’s not qualified because she’s not a SEAL. But the SEALs thought she was qualified," one retired SEAL said.

“I’m sure they would repeal the whole women in combat thing [if they could], but this is what they can do,” they added.

CNN also spoke to over a dozen active-duty women in the military and they all shared a "deep and growing alarm" that Hegseth's blatantly misogynist worldview could result in U.S. armed forces hemorrhaging valuable and experienced soldiers, while also discouraging future enlistment. Several knew of other female military members who were denied promotions that were due.

Many of the women voiced concerns that the process of anonymously reporting sexual assault could be negatively impacted — an unfortunately all too predictable outcome given the fact that the commander-in-chief is an adjudicated rapist and Hegseth has been accused of sexual assault.

Republicans love to claim that they support the troops, but once they're in power they betray them at every turn to push their bigoted, retrograde agenda. Our military was better served and better functioning under Democratic leadership and it falls to all of us to ensure that they get it again.
