Hopefully, Trump fires all the DEI leaders in the military. No traces of Biden and Obama picks should be left in the Pentagon.

Trading Air Force for Air Force. Shit, I thought the whole ****** pride thing was in the past.
 
So I guess this 4 star was in favor of DEI initiatives in the military, a virtual death sentence for anyone's career under the reign of America's first Emperor.

Charles Q. Brown Jr.

The Trump administration abruptly dismissed the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other senior officers on Friday night, as the Pentagon moves to bring the military’s leadership in line with its “America First” agenda.

In a post on social media, President Donald Trump said he would replace Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. and would take the unusual step of tapping a little-known, retired three-star officer, Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine, as the next chairman.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in a statement distributed shortly after Trump’s post, said he would dismiss five other senior officers, including Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the first woman to serve as chief of naval operations, and Gen. James Slife, a top Air Force officer.

“Under President Trump, we are putting in place new leadership that will focus our military on its core mission of deterring, fighting and winning wars,” Hegseth said.

Brown, a veteran pilot and battlefield commander whom Trump nominated during his first term in office to become the Air Force’s first African American chief of staff, was roughly 16 months into what was expected to be a four-year term.

He was elevated to the military’s top position by President Joe Biden in 2023, making him the second Black man to hold the chairman’s job. Gen. Colin Powell was the first.

The dismissals comes as Trump’s campaign to whittle down the federal workforce triggers court challenges and chaos for government workers, and his shifts on foreign policy, including an embrace of Russia’s narrative about the war in Ukraine, stoke confusion and anxiety among U.S. allies.

The firings appear to represent the most significant move yet in the administration’s emerging campaign to purge the Pentagon of what Hegseth has decried as “woke” policies and personnel and, despite the military’s role as a nonpartisan institution spanning administrations of both parties, to reshape its highest ranks.

In the weeks after he arrived at the Pentagon following a controversial confirmation process, Hegseth has moved quickly to dismantle diversity initiatives, which he has called “racist” and “illegal.”

At a Pentagon town hall this month, Hegseth said diversity initiatives have “served a purpose of dividing the force as opposed to uniting” the military. “The single dumbest phrase in military history is ‘our diversity is our strength,’” he said.

 
Why is Hegseth Sec. of Defense?

Because Trump watched him on TV.




President Donald Trump on Friday said he would appoint retired Air Force Lt. Gen. John Dan “Razin” Caine as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, replacing Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., a Biden appointee.

Caine, who is known by his middle name Dan, worked for three years at the Central Intelligence Agency until December 2024 and helped lead the fight against the Islamic State from Iraq. Here’s what to know about him.

He is a lieutenant general​

Caine reached the rank of lieutenant general in 2021, and his most recent government role was associate director for military affairs at the CIA.

The three-star ranking is unusual for an appointee to one of the top jobs in the Pentagon. Every previous appointee for chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff since 1949 has been either a general or an admiral. Brown led the Air Force before he was appointed, and Gen. Mark A. Milley, his predecessor, had been chief of staff of the Army.

Though, if confirmed, Caine would be promoted to general — and become the highest-ranking officer in the U.S. Armed Forces — while holding the position.

Before joining the CIA, Caine was director of special-access programs at the Pentagon from 2019 to 2021 and a deputy commanding general in the fight against the Islamic State, based in Baghdad in 2018 and 2019. He was commissioned in 1990 and served in various roles in the Air Force over more than two decades, including as a fighter pilot. He has also served in the National Guard.

He has been praised by Trump​

Caine is a relative unknown, but Trump has brought him up at least twice in previous years at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), describing him in glowing terms, and again on Wednesday at an investment summit in Miami.

All of Trumps picks have been DEIA+. They’re representative of Trump’s “poorly educated”.

You seem to be butt sore that the working class supports Trump and not the progressive elites.
 
The writing has been on the wall for this guy since Trump won. He has been a great promoter of DEI bullshit (a DEI appointee himself), which is a cancer in the Armed Forces.

Shed no tears. He will retain full compensation (not a pension) until he passes away.
