Pentagon Places Conservative Veterans in Undisclosed Government Roles
(MENAFN) The Pentagon has reportedly appointed several retired military veterans with significant online audiences to government positions without publicly revealing the nature of their roles, according to people familiar with the appointments and supporting records.
The individuals selected for the positions have publicly supported Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and frequently criticized figures who challenge policies associated with the Trump administration.
Some of those appointed are reportedly serving in civilian government roles that could give them a degree of influence over defense policy and decision-making.
Among those identified are retired Air Force Col. Rob Maness and retired Army Col. Kurt Schlichter.
Pentagon records reportedly show that both men have active government email accounts and are working within the office of Anthony Tata, the undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness.
The “.civ” designation attached to their government email addresses indicates that they are classified as civilian federal employees rather than military personnel or contractors.
Following their military careers, both Maness and Schlichter moved into conservative political commentary and developed substantial followings across online platforms.
