Good! Trump Begins Draining The Marxist DEI Swamp In The Pentagon
Making good on a campaign pledge to shake up the senior military ranks to ensure a focus on his policy priorities, President Trump on Friday night took the extraordinary step of firing the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and five more senior Pentagon officers. The fired chair, Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., had only served two-and-a-half years of his four-year term.
Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs usually stay in their posts when control of the White House changes hands. Trump's move immediately triggered accusations that he was politicizing the US military. Not so. The Clinton, Bush Jr. and Obama regimes have all done the SAME THING during their terms.
To replace Brown, Trump has nominated retired USAF Lt. Gen. Dan "Razin" Cain. The selection of Cain is highly unusual: Not only had he already retired from service, but he would be the first three-star general to ascend to the highest post in the US military. Cain is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and an F-16 pilot credited with 150 combat hours and two tours in Iraq. From 2021 to 2024, Cain served as the CIA's associate director for military affairs, collaborating on several highly classified initiatives, the New York Times reports.
Announcing the nomination on Truth Social, Trump's praised Cain's performance against ISIS: "During my first term, Razin was instrumental in the complete annihilation of the ISIS caliphate. It was done in record setting time, a matter of weeks. Many so-called military 'geniuses' said it would take years to defeat ISIS. General Caine, on the other hand, said it could be done quickly, and he delivered."
Brown was just one of six casualties on Friday night. After Trump's announcement, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth issued a statement indicating that Chief of Naval Operations Adm Lisa Franchetti, Air Force Vice Chief of Staff James Slife have also been removed, along with the judge advocates general of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
As for the other officers, Trump and Hegseth promised to clear out officers deemed too have embraced woke ideology, to include emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion over merit and performance.
As previously reported by this website, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was FIRED by President Trump this week. Now, we seem to understand why: DEI.
This is the memo which seems to many people to be the reason the President FIRED this man.
