Firing General Brown and Admiral Franchetti is not a complete surprise to civmil watchers, but pulling this guy from retirement for chairman definitely is It’s a strong signal that promotion to top positions will require complete ideological conformity from here on out

I’m seeing some ppl citing 10 USC 1161 (limitations on commissioned officer dismissals) hoping it means these top officers can’t be removed. I’m afraid I have some bad news. www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

President Trump has ousted Joint Chiefs Chairman CQ Brown and says he is replacing him with Air Force Lieutenant General Dan Caine. A retired four-star general expressed serious dismay over this move to me tonight, calling it "sadly political and tragic for our nation."

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

There’s so much insanity and cruelty present in this episode, but the part that really got me was a USAID employee taking about how photos of all the work they did were removed. The empty frames were then hung back up in the office hallways. Like, wtf man. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/p...
