I'm a grouch. A somewhat lovable autistic old grouch with a still-pretty-warm, still-kindly-beating heart, but a grouch nonetheless. I do the best I can with it. Member, Bernt Arse Pack.

The Joint Chiefs don't change with a new president. Supposed to be impartial, nonpartisan. Until now. Trump fired the Chair, Gen. Charles Brown (because he's Black), Navy chief Lisa Franchetti (for being a woman), and the 3 top Army, Navy, and Air Force lawyers (because they say follow the law).

There is nothing about the officers being purged that suggests any particular political ideology or partisan affiliation, and that's why they're being purged.
