President Donald Trump suddenly fired at General Junior Air Force as Chief of Chiefs of Staff on Friday, which resulted in a fighting pilot to make history and a respected officer as part of a campaign led by his Minister of Defense to rid the Army of Leaders who support diversity and fairness in the ranks.
Certainly, the overthrow of General Brown, the only second black general who works as a president, sends shock waves across the Pentagon. The 16 months were consumed in working with the war in Ukraine and the expanded conflict in the Middle East.
“I would like to thank General Charles” CQ “Brown for more than 40 years of his service to our country, including as our current chief of chiefs of staff. He is a good noble man and a prominent leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family.”
Brown’s general support for Black Lives Matter after the police killing George Floyd made it a target of administration campaigns against “waking up” in the army. The overthrow of it is the latest disturbance in the Pentagon, which plans to reduce 5400 civil test workers starting next week and setting $ 50 billion in programs that can be reduced next year to redirect these savings to finance the priorities of Mr. Trump.
Mr. Trump said that Lieutenant -General Dan “Razin” is nominating Kane in the retired Air Force to be the next president. Lieutenant General Kane is a F-16 pilot who served in active service and in the National Guard, and he was recently the Assistant Director of Military Affairs at the CIA, according to his military biography.
General Kane Kane’s military service includes combat roles in Iraq, private operations publications, and positions within some private access programs in Pentagon.
However, he had no major tasks identified in the law as prior conditions for the job, including either the vice chairman, the leader of the fighter, or a service leader. This requirement can be waived if “the president determines such a procedure necessary in the national interest.”
More Pentagon’s launches
Beit Higseth, Minister of Defense, Mr. Trump, announced in a statement praised by Lieutenant General Kane and General Jim Slav.
Admiral Franchiti became the second best military officer called by the Trump administration. Mr. Trump, Commander of the Coast Guard, launched the Admiral Linda Vagan just one day after he was right.
The surface war officer, Admiral Franchiti, was directed at all levels, heading the sixth fleet and US Navy Korea. She was the second woman to be promoted ever to the four -star Admiral, and made multiple publishing operations, including the commander of the maritime destroyer and two aircraft carriers commander.
General Silv led the Special Operations Command before he became the Deputy Chief of Staff in service and published in the Middle East and Afghanistan.
“The president and the defense minister deserves generals who trust him and deserves power to have generals who have credibility with our elected and appointed officials,” General Silav told Associated Press on Friday. “While I am disappointed to leave under these circumstances, I don’t want the result to be different.”
Mr. Trump affirmed his executive authority in a much stronger way in his second term, which led to the removal of most officials from the Biden administration, although many of these positions aim to move from one administration to another.
The role of the president was created in 1949 as a consultant to the president and the Minister of Defense, as a way to liquidate all the opinions of the heads of services and easily provide this information to the White House without the president had to reach each of them the individual military branch, according to the Atlantic Council of the Atlantic Council written by the retired pioneer General Arnold Bonaro. The role has no actual leadership authority.
Trump behaved despite the support of Bruun between the main members of the Congress and a friendly meeting with him in mid -December, when the two were sitting next to each other for a while in the army’s football game.
The shooting follows days of speculation after a list of officers, including General Brown, has been circulated to Capitol Hill – but it was not sent through any official notice to any of the Republican presidents in the armed services committees in the House of Representatives or the Senate.
Senator Roger Wekir, Chairman of the Armed Services Committee in the Senate, did not mention the name of Lieutenant General Kane in a statement on Friday.
Mr. Wekir said: “I thank President Brown for his contracts from the honorable service of our nation.” “I am confident that the Secretary Higseth and President Trump will choose a qualified successor and able to the decisive position of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Pillars.”
The Democratic Commanders of the Congress launched a fire as a direct attempt to politicize the army.
“The non -political professional army is subject to the civilian government and the support of the constitution instead of a political party to keep our democracy,” said Senator Road Island Jack Reed, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. In a late statement on Friday. “For our forces and the welfare of all American leaders-they must leaders-especially Republican in the Senate-must defend this permanent principle against erosion attempts to reshape the army in a party force.”
Braun thought to discuss race
The future of General Brown was a question during the confirmation session of Mr. Higseth last month. When asked whether he was shooting at General Brown, Mr. Higsith replied, “Every senior officer will be reviewed on the basis of merit, standards, takaan and commitment to the legal orders that will be submitted.”
Minister Higseth had previously assumed a goal for General Brown. “First of all, you should fire, as you know, you should shoot at the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the subscribers,” he said categorically in Podcast in November. In one of his books, he asked whether General Brown had obtained the job because he was black.
“Was it because of his skin tone? Or his skill? We will never know, but he always doubts that – which appears to be unfair on his face for CQ. But since he made the race card one of his largest contact cards, it does not matter a lot “.
While he was walking to the Pentagon on his first day as Minister of Defense on January 27, Mr. Higseth was asked directly if he intended to shoot General Brown.
“I stand with him now,” said Mr. Higseth, linking General Brown to his back. “We look forward to working with him.”
General Brown, who spent on Friday visiting the forces on the borders of the United States and Mexico, drew attention to himself to talk about about the death of George Floyd in 2020. While he knew he was risky, he said, with his wife and children about the killing, convinced him that he needed Say something.
While the protest against the nation, General Brown released a video message to the Air Force entitled “Here I think.” He described the pressures that came with one of the few black men in his unit. Remember to pushing himself to “make mistakes free” as a pilot and his entire life officer, but he still faces bias. He said that he was interrogated from his credentials, even when he was wearing the same flight and wings suit like every other pilot.
General Brown’s road to the presidency was turbulent – among more than 260 senior military officers whose nominations were stopped for several months by Republican Senator Tommy Tobreville of Alabama. But when the Senate was recently made in September 2023, Brown was easily confirmed by the 89-8 vote.
30 years have passed since Kullen Powell became the first black president, he served from 1989 to 1993. But while African Americans were 17.2 % of the 1.3 million active service members, but only 9 % of the officers They were black, according to 2021 report of the Ministry of Defense.
The service of General Brown as a president, in its history, was that this is the first time that the Minister of Defense, Lloyd Austin, and the head of the subscribers’ heads, have been black.
