In a bureaucratic massacre, new Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin bounced hundreds of Pentagon advisers off boards. Most of them were Trump supporters, Republicans, and conservatives. They will no doubt be replaced by individuals who hate the U.S. military and wish the United States ill across the globe.

The various boards are supposed to be bipartisan. But that didn't stop the Army veteran and Democrat hack Austin from destroying any pretense of professionalism and instead filling the ranks of Pentagon advisers with authoritarian socialists and PC goons.

FNC: "In a sweeping move this week, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin blocked hundreds of members from serving on various Pentagon advisory boards – including numerous nominees who were appointed by former President Trump, according to a report. The move came after the process for approving Trump’s nominees to the boards was halted last week, The Wall Street Journal reported. Among those blocked from taking seats on Pentagon boards were Corey Lewandowski, who served as a Trump campaign manager in 2016, and David Bossie, a former Trump deputy campaign manager, the Journal reported. Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich also was affected, Bloomberg News reported."

"I am directing the immediate suspension of all advisory committee operations until the review is completed unless otherwise directed by myself or the deputy secretary of defense," Austin said Tuesday.

"Advisory boards have and will continue to provide an important role in shaping public policy within [the Department of Defense]," Austin wrote to Pentagon chiefs. "That said, our stewardship responsibilities require that we continually assess to ensure each advisory committee provides appropriate value today."

“The secretary directed that all members currently serving on DoD advisory committees and subcommittees to conclude their service no later than Feb. 16,” Pentagon spox John Kirby said Tuesday.

"There is no question that the secretary was deeply concerned with the pace and the extent of recent changes to memberships of department advisory committees and 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. There's also no question that the frenetic activity that occurred to the composition of so many boards in just the period of November to January deeply concerned the secretary and certainly helped drive him to this decision...These sponsors will also consider each committee’s mission and function as it relates to the national defense strategy and to our own strategic priorities. They’ll look at potential functional realignments to create a single cross functional advisory committee when it’s appropriate. They’ll also look at potential legislative changes to non-discretionary advisory committees to align their missions and functions.” That is pure bureaucratic gibberish, designed to bore and thus deflect.

Following recent reports that Congress is considering a nationwide voter ID requirement for federal elections, do you support requiring voters to show identification before casting a ballot?
