Summary
Donald Trump fired Gen CQ Brown Jr, the Black chair of the joint chiefs of staff, continuing a purge of leaders supporting diversity in the military.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had insisted on ousting Brown due to his role in “woke” DEI programs, questioning Brown’s selection as possibly based on race.
Brown, praised for his achievements and role in deterring China, was replaced by Lt Gen Dan “Razin” Caine, bypassing statutory prerequisites.
The move signals sweeping Pentagon changes, including further high-level firings and a dramatic shift in America’s defense priorities.

Not only was he fired, he’s being replaced by someone who doesn’t meet the legally stipulated qualifications. Meritocracy!
I’m sure just by the very act of being Black (or female, etc.) you can now be accused of being “woke”, or too DEI, or promoting diversity.
How convenient for the redcaps.
Any black person disabled person or woman promotes diversity by the fact that they are diverse. This is the start or removing any diverse person from employment in a position of prestige or power.
He was fired because he is black, not because he is “woke”. Racism is Racism.
Republicanism is racism.
black, looked better in uniform, was vastly more more competent, and frankly… sober and of a sound mind.
he was making the bosses look bad.
That was my initial thought.
But also, he was resisting the coup. You can’t have Marshall law with military leaders willing to resist you.
This could well be the point that we (globally) lose the “nobody would be insane enough to allow him to push the button” mindset
‘Martial law’.
Marshall law is when they let that tall whiny guy from How I met Your Mother call the shots.
I thought Marshall Law was when you listen to M&Ms.
