Trump's team to create 'warrior board' to assess and remove army leaders: Report
What is the warrior board?
According to a report from The New York Times, the Trump administration is planning to create a "warrior board" that will be responsible for assessing and potentially removing Army leaders who are deemed to be "insufficiently loyal" to the president.
The board would be led by retired Gen. Keith Kellogg, who served as national security adviser to Vice President Mike Pence.
Why is the warrior board being created?
The report says that the warrior board is being created in response to Trump's growing frustration with the Army leadership, which he believes is not sufficiently supportive of his policies.
Trump has reportedly been particularly critical of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley, who has publicly disagreed with the president on several occasions.
What are the implications of the warrior board?
The creation of the warrior board could have a significant impact on the Army. It could lead to the removal of senior leaders who are seen as being disloyal to the president, and it could also create a climate of fear and intimidation within the ranks.
The board could also damage the Army's reputation and its ability to attract and retain talented officers.
