Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has blocked the promotions of at least seven Navy officers, including female and Black officers, from a promotion list. The decision appears to be driven by Hegseth's anti-diversity stance rather than merit-based considerations, and reportedly violates rules governing military promotion procedures.
