This is beyond good news, maybe now the focus of the military can go back to what it has always been.

By the time Trump and Hegseth are finished, we are going to see a whole new Chiefs of Staff.

Probably necessary. Any fine with Milley's style and concern about `white rage' is waay too weak and distracted for the post.

I assume there will be a general purge of woke Biden & Obama cronies in the Pentagon. Leave the Marine Corps Commandant alone, though.

Anyone in the service appointed by FJB or the Kenyan should absolutely hit the road. The entire goal of those two a-holes was to weaken our forces and get votes from the left/dems, 100%.

All of them…….afuera!

If it was Trump he damn sure gets a pass. He made a hell of a lot of mistakes first time around and likely will make a few again, but both guns are currently a-blazing and I'm here for it.

Nice gotcha though.

If (or is he recent?) he was a recommendation from during the 45 term where the uniparty was in operation under the surface, may be suspect too. Same way Wray proved no better than Comey.

Some folks get bad advice. Trump has admitted that he was given bad advice. I know that shocks you.

Does he deserve special treatment because he graduated from our beloved university or should he be held to the same standard?

Nominating a retired AF LtGen as the replacement. John Caine. Interesting. Pretty sure that's never happened before. And to nominate someone who isn't already one of the Joint Chiefs? Not sure but I think Colin Powell was the last one.

So our Aggie boy is another DEI champion?

But wait a minute.

Maybe many lower level people are NOT DEI champs. They might have been forced to by their bosses. Not fair to kick them out.

looks he said ISIS could be defeated in a week and put on a MAGA hat during a Trump base visit in 2019. Interesting reason to take him to the top.

The new CJCS nominee is an Air National Guard guy, too. I don't believe we've ever had a Reserve or Guard CJCS.

Having served under Brown as PACAF/CC, on the Air Staff when he was CSAf, and on the JCS, I don't think he was woke like he is made out to be (and I despise DEI in the military). He made some mistakes wading into the post George Floyd messaging and signed off on a memo the SecAF and UnderSecAF championed to put quotas (seemingly) on race based recruiting. But he was vocal about how he did not favor tipping the scales in favor of one group because it takes away from another, which is the antitheses of DEI. The USecAF at the time was only focused on DEI BS and Brown is a casualty of it, IMO.

His priorities as CSAF and CJCS were in alignment with Trump and Hegseth, even before they got into office, but he committed a few unforgivable sins to the anti-DEI movement. It is a shame. He was actually a major improvement over Milley as Chairman.

That he was. He may have also been a victim of being in Austin's shadow as SecDef, which seemed ineffectual and inattentive.

I am glad Trump fired woke General CQ Brown and many other senior miliary officers because it's time to end numerous social experiments. I loved how Trump repealed a rule allowing transgender troops to serve in the military. I hope Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will reinstate the ban of women in combat roles.

I served in the Army from July 2006 to September 2011 as a military analyst, and I deployed to Iraq twice (December 2007 to February 2009 and June 2010 to May 2011). There is no way around the biological differences between men and women. Even if the exceptional women can meet the infantry requirements, cohesion would be another issue. If we want the military to maintain its capability and readiness, we must not lower our standards to cave to political correctness. Therefore, combat arms should remain restricted to males.
