President Trump fired Joint Chiefs Chairman Charles Q. Brown Jr. and replaced him with nominee Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine, who must be confirmed by the Senate.
“Today, I am honored to announce that I am nominating Air Force Lieutenant General Dan ‘Razin’ Caine to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “General Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a ‘warfighter’ with significant interagency and special operations experience.”
Brown became associated with the military’s diversion into the diversity-equity-inclusion mandates of the Biden Administration. He had been Trump’s nominee to serve as Air Force chief of staff during the first Trump Administration.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also said he has removed Adm. Lisa Franchetti, chief of naval operations, and the Air Force vice chief of staff, Gen. James Slife.
Trump said that Caine had been “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,” Trump wrote.
“I have also directed Secretary Hegseth to solicit nominations for five additional high level positions, which will be announced soon,” Trump said.
I pray President Trump maintains the momentum. Push back the forces of evil that have permeated our nation and world.
No doubt that General Brown will soon take a position on the Raytheon board. Time to get in on the big money.
Raytheon does not want him.
Good.
I think spell check may have caught you out on his nickname, Suzanne. Check the first sentence.
Yes, you are correct. Spellcheck was all over that one. – sd
No justification for this unless you have TDS, but in the reverse. Brown was beyond qualified. You people are blind to what is happening.
What a sad state of affairs. This is TDS but in reverse. Brown is beyond qualified. You people are blind to what’s going on. Please explain in detail what justifies his dismissal.
Guess you don’t realize that these are not jobs for life. The Secretary of Defense and the President get to pick the people they have confidence in. There is no need to detail for the public what made Brown not that person, and there is no point in disparaging a noble warrior like him. But he didn’t have their confidence for that role even though Trump had nominated him for the Air Force post many years earlier. They don’t owe you a single explanation for wanting their own team. Hegseth wanted him out. Trump didn’t want him in that role. Elections have consequences. Golden Age of America, dude. And one more thing: All jobs are temporary. Just like when Trump lost and just like when Biden lost, no job lasts forever. Get over it.
You have a bizarre view of what constitutes a golden age. Talk about getting over it.
The golden age to you means the dictatorship of the proletariat….
I’m just going to let Allen West answer you because he did so brilliantly: For all the leftists and politicized military pundits lamenting the dismissal of General Charles Q. Brown, where was your wailing about national security when Barack Hussein Obama fired nearly 200 Generals in five years? General Brown was released because he felt it more important to delve into matters of social justice than national security. He also commented that he preferred only a certain % of pilots be white in the Air Force. He was an acolyte of cultural Marxist philosophy known as DEI/CRT.
And for you chuckleheads, General Pete Schoomaker was recalled from retirement, promoted from LTG to Four Star General, and became the 35th Chief of Staff of the Army. Memo to progressive socialists, y’all lost and Major Generals and above are political appointees and serve at the behest of the Commander in Chief. And Article II of the Constitution designates that person as the President of the United States.”
So have a nice hot cup of Shut the Hell Up because no one cares about your unrighteous indignation and laughable hypocrisy.”
It worse than sad, it’s dangerous. Caine does not meet the statutory qualifications for the job and they had to get a waiver per the Goldwater-Nichols Act (1986). Please explain why merit based hiring does not apply to the command structure of the US Military.
This is a good thing – get rid of Q.
Another Brick In the Wall – REMOVED, Jenga style. MAGA voted for this
