Hundreds of people serving on the Pentagon’s 42-civilian advisory boards were forced to resign on Tuesday upon the orders of Joe Biden’s Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. The move effectively purged many Trump appointees who were put in place in the final days of the Trump administration.
While the resignations were reportedly part of a broader review ordered by Austin, the Pentagon’s top spokesman did acknowledge that move was prompted by the 11th-hour appointments by Trump.
“The Secretary was deeply concerned with the pace and the extent of recent changes to memberships of department advisory committees,” said John Kirby, the Pentagon’s press secretary. “This review will allow him now to quickly get his arms around the purpose of these boards and to make sure the advisory committees are in fact providing the best possible advice to department leadership.”
The boards’ operations have been suspended and the resignations must be made by February 16. Only two individuals nominated to boards by the Defense Secretary or other Pentagon officials will have to resign. Those named to boards by a president or Congress are not affected. Neither Sean Spicer, Trump’s former White House spokesman, who was named to the U.S. Naval Academy’s Board of Visitors in 2019, or Kellyanne Conway, who was appointed to the U.S. Air Force Academy’s Board of Visitors, are impacted by the order.

Yeah - BS.
They play for keeps while we play with ourselves. Wake up!
“Yeah - BS.”
Agreed. There will be a serious purge.
Imagine if Trump had done this on day 1.
Global Screaming
Folks here didn’t believe me when I posted that Obama had done all he could to remove all officers O-5 and up, whom he could identify as Conservative.
I hope the chairman of the campaign committee; Tom Emmer
Minnesota 2018–Present , is up to the task. He’s running the take back Congress campaign and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him on TV, not a good start.
Scenario from the Trump administration: “You have papers in your file cabinet. Here is a court order for you to provide me with those papers.”
Response: “That will take about 3 years and it’s possible that those papers will accidentally disappear.”
Scenario from the Biden administration: “I want to initiate a broad review of the civilian advisory boards at the Pentagon.”
Response: “Yes sir. Shall I send notices of termination to the Trump appointees today, or can this wait until tomorrow?”
Obama’s 8 years ... I hope all of those people who voted for him don’t feel “racist” anymore.
Now its crank up the war machine.
the CCP ‘paid’ everyone in the Pentagon and Congress
whom they turned 2.5 Billion phoney dollars.
2.5 BILLION counterfeit dollars (like George Fentanil Floyd
used which is why they 186’d him) for treason.
those paid this amount WILL sell out the American PEOPLE
if they have not already.
Why care what they will say? They will say things anyway. Just purge the other side within a week.
They play for keeps while we play with ourselves. Wake up!
Just waitin on you Spartacus.
Take the administration to court.
Trump never did this and desperately needed to.
Glorious Communist Purge Alert!
Good.
What decent adult would want to work with and for the ChiCom’s Biden?
“Now its crank up the war machine.”
Which is why many of us on active or reserve duty in the mid 1960’s through the 70’s did not re up!
Why? It is standard operating procedure for Democrats to purge all non civil service offcials from a Republican administration. Why Trump did not do this is a mystery.
