President Donald Trump fired Chair of the Joint Chiefs Gen. C.Q. Brown on Friday night, and said he intends to dismiss the Navy’s top admiral and the Air Force’s second in command — an unprecedented shakeup of the Pentagon’s top brass that will trigger ripple effects throughout the military.

Trump, in a Truth Social post, said he was nominating retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine to take Brown’s place. Caine is a partner at Shield Capital, a venture capital firm.

Trump also has claimed Caine donned a ‘MAGA’ hat during their 2018 meeting in Iraq, which is against military regulations.

    That’s the point. Someone living in California has the same amount of sway with the president as someone from Bangladesh.

    What do you think they’re going to do? Go Join Wick on a state thousands of miles away? Send our representatives an angry letter? Succeed and be rolled back to the stone age? Lose their job so they can hold a sign just about everyone already agrees with in the snow? Pick a fight with every cop they see?

    Make a Venn diagram. Put everything that’s effective and realistic on one side and televising a revolution so joey in his mother’s basement in Liverpool can feel like he’s watching an Avengers movie on the other. You’ll have two circles.

    I stg these Europeans would be mad at Luke Skywalker if he didn’t explain what he was doing and didn’t live streamed the trench run. Go google what OpSec is and, please, shut the fuck up.

    This is like yelling at the hostages in a bank robbery that they’re not trying hard enough to be saved while the police watch outside with popcorn. All despite the fact that the bank robbers are going to come outside and be a problem for the police next.

    You are in the same boat as the hostages. You have the same responsibility. You will not be able to explain to the boot that it’s not your job. I know decades of not having to provide for your own defense had addled the tactical and reasonable sides of your brains, but it’s time for you to get a little perspective.
