On the evening of January 20, 2025, Admiral Linda Fagan stood in line at the Commander-in-Chief Ball in Washington D.C.
She was waiting to have her photograph taken with the new president.
While she waited, she learned she had been fired.
That is how a four-star admiral and 40-year veteran of the United States Coast Guard the first woman in the 234-year history of the Coast Guard to serve as its Commandant, and the first woman ever to lead any branch of the U.S. armed forces discovered that her career was over.

(14,347 posts)Admiral Fagan was fired by then acting Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman four days before he was replaced. Reasons cited included a scandal that occurred under her predecessor and her DEI policies. She also briefed Congress on sexual assault investigations that her predecessors had kept quiet so I guess that counts as DEI.

(26,463 posts)And Lacore just advanced to the Democratic Primary runoff election, as the favorite, in SC for the First Congressional District seat now held by lame duck Nancy Mace. I heard Lacore speak at the SC State Democratic Convention last month, and she is awesome.
If Lacore wins in the November general election, Hegseth stands to learn firsthand what FAFO means!
