  9. #Trump & his allies have pushed aggressively to defund or eliminate #DEI programs across the #military. One of Trump’s first actions was to fire the chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff, Gen #CQBrown Jr, only the 2nd #AfricanAmerican ever to hold that position. Training on racial bias, cultural competency & inclusive leadership has been gutted & labeled ‘radical.’

  14. The #Senate confirmed early Fri Lt Gen #DanCaine, the fmr National Guardsman & fighter pilot, to be chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff.

    Gen Caine is replacing another Air Force fighter pilot, four-star Gen #CQBrown, whom #Trump abruptly fired in Feb.

    While Dems expressed concerns about the rash of firings at the #Pentagon, Gen Caine garnered little opposition because the majority viewed him as the best option, given the circumstances.

  19. Gen #CQBrown would go on to become the chair of the #JointChiefs of Staff under President #Biden, in an 83-11 Senate vote. For the first time in its history, the #Pentagon was led by two #Black men, with #LloydAustin III, Biden’s #defense secretary.

    But in #Trump’s eyes, one Trump adviser said on Saturday, there was no coming back for General Brown after he made his video.

  24. Gen #CQBrown spoke of how most of his mentors could not relate to his experience as a #Black man. He spoke of wondering whether airmen who have not had similar experiences “don’t see #racism as a problem because it doesn’t happen to them, or whether they’re empathetic.”

    Gen Brown finished by talking about the weight he felt as the first African American nominated to be chief of the #AirForce. #Trump had nominated him for that position, on Esper’s recommendation.

    “I’m thinking about my #AirForce career, where I was often the only African American in my squadron, or, as a senior officer, the only African American in the room,” he said.
