Trump fired Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., only the second Black Joint Chiefs chairman, replacing him with a little-known retired general. Six Pentagon officials were dismissed, including top Navy and Air Force leaders.

The MAGAs will not care whether every former military leader denounces or disagrees with Trump. They’ll claim anyone who is against him is stupid, unqualified and hurl any other insult their way.
You know what, it wont be surprising to see if the Chinese government starts reaching out to fired military and federal employees with lucrative job offers.
Sorry, but they're not interested in hiring talented people in this administration anymore. So, better to keep a list of those valuable people for when the pendulum swings back again!
‼️🚨‼️The willy-nilly firing of federal workers has severe consequences on the security of the country as well. A loss for America is a gain to our adversaries.

Appeal to the Congress of former Secretaries of Defense
February 27th, 2025
We are deeply alarmed by President Trump's recent dismissals of several senior U.S. military leaders. We write to urge the U.S. Congress tohold Mr. Trump to account for these reckless actions and to exercise...
...fully its Constitutional oversight responsibilities.
The President offered no justification for his actions, even though he had nominated these officersfor previous positions and the Senate had approved them. These officers' exemplary operational and combat experience, as well as the coming...
...dismissals of the Judge Advocates General of the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force make clear that none of this was about warfighting.
Mr. Trump's dismissals raise troubling questions about the administration's desire to politicize the military and to remove legal constraints on the President's..

As former Secretaries of Defense, we call on both the House and the Senate to hold immediate hearings to assess the national security...
...implications of Mr. Trump's dismissals. The House and Senate should demand that the administration justify each firing and fully explain why it violated Congress' legislative intent that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff complete a four- year term in office. General C.Q. Brown Jr. had...
Politicizing the military is barely the least of it. With Trump dropping our allies right and left, the US may find itself having to USE the military with no one with any smarts or experience around to lead us in combat situations. And don't tell me Hegseth the suckup can do it.
I mean, thank goodness they’re warning Trump of exactly what he intended to do, I guess. It’s weird that anyone is still trying to appeal to his nonexistent better nature or reason.
The military is already political. They're the ones being used for these rich shitbags personal gain. Nobody should have to go fight for someone who doesn't give a fuck about them at the end of the day and the lack of veteran assistance shows how little they care
Politicize the military; transform it into a MAGA stronghold; deploy it along borders and against Americans. These firings are the beginning of the MAGA makeover. It won't be 'thank you for your service,' but rather f**k you for turning on your fellow Americans.
They are prepared. Project 2025 has plans to institute the draft w service modeled after the IDF. Only public school students, private school students are not subject to the draft.
Project 2025 actually says students in federally funded institutions must take the asvab test. They also want to increase an already declining enrollment by 50,000 enlistees. They do not use the draft word.
Project 2025 says that students in federally funded schools must take the asvab and they state a goal of increasing troop numbers by 50,000. Enlistment numbers have been declining for several years so how will they increase enlistment numbers? They do not say draft but coincidence??
The military HAS been compromised.
They recommend “merit” based promotions to those breeding “uncontrollably”.
To those part of the “good old boi club”.
To those that were either mason affiliated or equivalent.
The whole system has been contaminated.
Everyone that voted for that 🍊🤡💩 is digging in. 👀
This is great but it’s 4 that served under Dems. Where are the righteous republicans? Where’s W? Dick. Every Republican who ever served in Congress should be calling out the cowards currently serving.
Thank you so much for keeping us informed. I truly hope one day when it is safe, we will get to know who all of you brave resistance fighters are. You give us hope. 💕💕
Disgraceful that there aren’t any that served under GWB. Those of the party before the unstable genius and his cult took hold. I guess they are too cowardly or have drank the koolaid
"replacing him with a little-known retired general" who *lacks the actual legal qualifications for the post* and has been spoken of by the Mango Mussolini himself as a loyalist willing to break military regs and even "kill for (him)". I realize that you're trying not to be inflammatory, but...
If this isn’t motivating them to stage a coup, I don’t know what will. Apparently I need to give up hope the military will save the country. So much for honouring their oath to the constitution.
No, it’s not just re replacement, it’s the fact that they claim they only
Want the most qualified people regardless of race or gender, yet replace them with UNQUALIFIED people. This RETIRED Lt. General need to be reinstated and promoted to be in the position. He needs an exemption.

See how Gabbard characterized this report while taking the sides of the U.S. adversaries AGAIN.
