It took Hitler longer to fire General Ludwig Beck.

Yeah doesn't he have to? He has to replace enough military officials or he won't be able to become a dictator. None of this should come as a surprise

Replacement-guy holds the superior rank that matters: he’s white.

it’s almost like his whiteness conveys some kind of... privilege?

if only there were a term for this

You might even say a supremacy of sorts.

Also senior JAG being fired. We know why on that one too.

Anger Yam is replacing the well qualified black guy with the mediocre white guy.

So, Corporal Pyle, what do you think about being named Commandant of the Marine Corps?

You clearly have to go a long way outside the normal hierarchy to find someone you can be truly confident will obey an illegal order.

Merit, and all that.

Air Force must be furious. If this had happened to CDS/CAS back in the day (and there were political tensions, one of my CASs apparently threatened to resign over squadron cutbacks and CDS over lack of Iraq War legal advice) there would be uproar.

While telling stories about how the new guy loves him and said he would "kill for him" and that he wore a MAGA hat on duty.
