Trump Admin Reportedly Set To Can Notorious Liberal General
SUMMARY
The Trump administration is reportedly gearing up to fire Air Force General Charles Q. Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, known for his liberal leanings. According to CNN, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has included Brown on a list of dismissals sent to Congress, fulfilling Trump’s pledge to purge “woke” military leaders. Hegseth has been vocal about axing generals tied to diversity and inclusion efforts, famously saying on a November 2024 podcast, “You’ve got to fire the chairman of the Joint Chiefs.” Brown, the highest-ranking U.S. military officer and a Biden appointee, faced scrutiny during his 2023 confirmation over alleged racial quotas in Air Force hiring. Despite earlier signs Trump might keep him after a friendly chat at an Army-Navy game, Brown’s now in the crosshairs as Hegseth pushes a “warrior culture” over DEI policies. Potential replacements include Generals Samuel Paparo and Erik Kurilla.
