President Donald Trump and his defense secretary have declared their intent to oust the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the chief of naval operations, the vice chief of the Air Force, and the judge advocates general for the Army, Navy, and Air Force—all amid a broader push to root out military officials who have supported diversity efforts.

“I want to thank General Charles “CQ” Brown for his over 40 years of service to our country, including as our current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family,” Trump said in a post Friday night.

Brown, a four-star fighter pilot, was the second Black American to serve as chairman. In 2020, Trump nominated Brown to be the Air Force chief of staff. Once in the job, he “launched investigations into potential biases in the service’s promotion process and made changes to make it more equitable. The following year, he opened the Air Force’s first Diversity, Equity and Inclusion office,” Defense One reported. (In recent weeks, the Air Force has removed a press release about the office, but it remains online elsewhere.)

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I remember an article about the time Sam Brinton was thrust on the American people noting that to be a high-level appointee under Biden you had to be female, trannie, gay, queer, a DEI advocate, dog rapist, anything but a straight white male.  What does that say about the people getting the axe? wink777
