The president decapitated the Joint Chiefs late Friday night, firing chairman General C.Q. Brown Jr. and replacing him with retired Air Force lieutenant general Dan "Razin" Caine, probably because the president has a childish sweet tooth for people who flatter him and have really cool nicknames. Given the fact that Brown is Black, and also given that Trump has clear-cut nearly all the women in positions of high military command, much of the commentary on the firings has centered on making it part of the administration's racist and sexist fanaticism regarding DEI programs. Which admittedly makes a lot of sense, since Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth already has tagged Brown with being a DEI hire. |
