It is true that an admiral is now leading the U.S. Army Europe and Africa command, as well as serving as NATO’s Allied Land Command leader. Normally, that wouldn’t happen, of course, but in this case, the admiral is Lieutenant General Kevin Admiral.

In addition to the admiral in charge of a major military command, Gen. Admiral is black. The great thing about his being promoted in Trump’s and Pete Hegseth’s military is that we know he’s there because he earned his place, not because it was handed to him as a politically correct bow-down before affirmative action.
So, a little bit about him:
Gen. Admiral did not come through a military college. His Bachelor of Science degree in cellular biology comes from the University of Kansas, and he also has a Master’s from the Joint Advanced Warfighting School. He’s even studied at Britain’s Royal College of Defence Studies (where, presumably, they analyze past glories, before Britain’s self-immolation).
He joined the army in 1994 via an ROTC commission. Over the years, before his current promotion, he’s held the following commands:
- III Armored Corps
- 1st Cavalry Division
- United States Army Armor School (where he was the commandant)
- Task Force-Southeast
- 3rd Cavalry Regiment
- 1st Battalion, 36th Infantry Regiment
He’s also received several awards:
- Army Distinguished Service Medal
- Defense Superior Service Medal
- Legion of Merit (4)
- Bronze Star Medal (4)
- Purple Heart
ChatGPT assembled a more complete biography for me, and it’s impressive, with him serving across the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia, including combat commands in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Public domain.
But lots of people can look good on paper. Again, what makes everything about Gen. Admiral believable is that he’s received his most recent command in a military that focuses on merit, not skin color. From that, we can deduce that he is the real deal.

What’s fascinating is that the people who ought to be celebrating Gen. Admiral’s ascent to one of the highest positions the American military has to offer—that is, those who focus obsessively on the necessity for blacks to attain high positions in America—have been completely silent:
A lot of y’all in the media have been REAL QUIET since @SecWar announced LTG Kevin Admiral as the next commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa.

Secretary Pete Hegseth just picked a black three-star general to lead U.S. Army Europe and Africa, and the media went SILENT!

That’s right: They are denying a signal accomplishment that they claim to desire, and depriving Gen. Admiral of the recognition he deserves, because to do otherwise would destroy the false narrative that the Trump administration is the second coming of the KKK.
In fact, the Trump administration is the best thing that could ever have happened to the American military. It’s reverting it to an institution that is focused on merit in the service of our country. All Americans, regardless of race, are welcome to climb this ladder.
