The US President fired CQ Brown without providing a reason and also announced the replacement of five top officers.
US President Donald Trump fired General CQ Brown as chairman of the US co-starring chief of staff as part of broader reforms to top military leaders.
“General Charles’ CQ’ General Brown is grateful for over 40 years of service to our country. He is a wonderful gentleman, an outstanding leader and has a great future for him and his family. I hope,” Trump posted on his Truth Social Platform on Saturday.
The US President offered no reason to immediately dismiss Brown.
The president has announced that he will nominate Brown as retired former General Dan “Razin” Kain for his retirement.
However, Brown, a former fighter pilot who commanded the Middle East and Asia, and the second black officer to take the position, has been in the wake of the murder of black people and has given him the public support for the issue of black lives. He had fired earlier afterwards. George Floyd has fed him for his administration’s fight against “awakened culture” and the promotion of diversity.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegses previously suggested that Brown had acquired the position because he was black.
Fire a “massacre”
In addition to Brown’s firing, Heggs announced that Admiral Lisa Francetti of Naval Operations and General Jim Srife, Chief of Staff, have been let go.
Ordered at all naval levels, Francetti will become the second female officer fired by the Trump administration.
In a report from Washington, D.C., Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zao Castro said Democrats are calling the Pentagon’s top brass shooting “a massacre.”
“In all, the Pentagon has lost six members of its Top Brass, which is usually a break from nonpartisan US military tradition,” explained Castro.
Democrat Sen. Jack Reid, a Democrat of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has denounced Brown’s firing as a “type of political loyalty.”
“Or erodes the trust and professionalism our service members need to achieve their mission for reasons related to diversity and gender that have nothing to do with performance,” Reid said. Ta.
Since taking office, Trump has pushed forward a series of massive firing within the government’s upper class. Starting next week, the Pentagon plans to cut 5,400 civil probation workers.
