are Black or women.


Edit to correct correct from January Black to,: since January are Black and/or women

The answer was. Yes.

Here is the answer:
"Yes
Yes, most of the high-ranking military officers who have quit or been fired are Black. Recent reports indicate that several Black officers, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the chief of naval operations, have been removed from their positions, reflecting a trend in military leadership changes. Additionally, the firings have raised concerns among lawmakers and defense officials regarding the implications of these changes on military diversity and leadership.

I should have asked, Black and or women so I did. Here is the answer to that version of the question:

"In recent military leadership changes, most high-ranking Black officers have been fired or removed, particularly during the Trump administration. Notably, Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Navy's first female chief, was fired, and Gen. CQ Brown Jr., a Black officer, was also dismissed. Additionally, Lt. Gen. Telita Crosland, a Black woman, resigned after being replaced by a white officer. These firings have raised concerns among military leaders and veterans regarding the impact of political factors on military promotions and support for minority officers.
