Just another lame excuse to boot a woman from the officer ranks, as the glass ceiling spirals ever downward:

The commander of Fort McCoy was relieved of duty after the U.S. Army base failed to install photos of President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on a wall displaying their chain of command. 

Col.  Sheyla Baez Ramirez was suspended as garrison commander of Ft. McCoy in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. “This suspension is not related to any misconduct,” the U.S. Army Reserve Command said in a statement, “We have no further details to provide at this time while this matter is under review.”

“Secretary Hegseth was there to represent the administration,” the press secretary told the reporter Tuesday. “The president has expressed his condolences to these families, as have I, from this podium.”

Trump instead was in Florida, where he attended a tournament for the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour at his Doral resort, before he traveled to his Palm Beach club for fundraising events.

Critics also questioned Trump’s decision to engage in a glitzy weekend that benefited his family’s wallet as the country panicked over tumbling stock markets caused by the president’s tariffs.

Nero fiddles while Rome burns.

Real quickly, can you explain why the President opted to send Secretary Hegseth to the Dignified Transfer last week instead of attending himself? Sure. Secretary Hegseth was there to represent the administration. The President has expressed his condolences to these families, as have I, from this podium.

The chat appears to have served as a virtual war room for some of the President’s top team, including Waltz, Vice President JD Vance, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard and Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles.

Goldberg said that Hegseth shared the war plan with the group at 11.44am eastern time on Saturday March 15, two hours before the bombs began dropping on Yemen.
