And to make this even more ridiculous than it already is, they’re calling this board the “warrior board”.
If Donald Trump approves the order, it could fast-track the removal of generals and admirals found to be “lacking in requisite leadership qualities,” … But it could also create a chilling effect on top military officers, given the president-elect’s past vow to fire “woke generals,” referring to officers seen as promoting diversity in the ranks at the expense of military readiness.
As commander in chief, Trump can fire any officer at will, but an outside board whose members he appoints would bypass the Pentagon’s regular promotion system, signaling across the military that he intends to purge a number of generals and admirals.

But some former officials believe the potential Trump administration is looking to politicize the military. “Do they start wearing MAGA hats in formation to signal who’s where?” asked one former senior Pentagon official. “The potential for this to go wrong is infinite.”
Interestingly, the damage done to the US military this way by itself makes all of Russia’s investments in Trump worthwhile. Incredible bang for the buck - far more than they’d get investing in their own military.

This always ends in a yes-men military filled with unskilled ass-kissers.
People will optimize for the grading system.

This is one of two ways that it can end.
The other is that the military says, “No”.
