President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is looking at ways to make good on his promise to purge the military of “woke” generals—including a draft executive order that would create a “warrior board” to review the conduct of officials and recommend names for firing, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
The board, which would consist of retired senior military officials, would have the power to recommend the dismissal of any three- or four-star generals that are deemed “lacking in requisite leadership qualities,” a draft of the executive order obtained by the Journal reads.
