The Pentagon responded to reports about the dismissal of women and blacks from the Navy

Staff with the necessary qualifications are promoted to the U.S. Department of War. Thus, on June 1, Sean Parnell, the United States Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and Chief Secretary of the Pentagon, responded to reports of dismissal from the country's Naval Forces (Navy).

"As we have already said, a promotion in the army is given to those who deserve it," he wrote on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

According to Parnell, promotion decisions will never be made based on a serviceman's skin color or gender.
