Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Another part of what's going on is that most government employees care deeply about the mission and the people they serve. We aren't designing yet another sports gambling app. We're providing weather forecasts, emergency management, safe food, clean water, world-class parks & recreation areas.
