@pbsnews: The potential consequences of Trump’s Pentagon shakeup Trump’s shakeup of Washington reached the Pentagon on Friday as he fired several top military leaders, including Air Force Gen. CQ Brown as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Trump selected retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan Caine to be the new Joint Chiefs chairman, a job that requires Senate confirmation. John Yang speaks with Eric Edelman for more. #pbsnews#pbsnewshour #newshour #CQBrown #trumpadministration #usmilitary #airforce #usmilitarynews #currentevents #petehegseth #departmentofdefense #usnavy #military #trump #pentagon

How many “unprecedented” things does this Administration have to do before we all collectively decide enough is enough?

Oh yeah, so they’re letting a drunk a person who’s drunk all the time make these decisions about our country. It’s embarrassment to live here.

Mr. Baldwin :
As of February 25, 2025, Lieutenant General John D. “Dan” Caine has been nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, following the dismissal of General Charles Q. “CQ” Brown Jr. General Brown, who had served as Chairman for 16 months and was only the second Black officer to hold this position, was abruptly relieved of his duties on February 21, 2025. The official announcement did not specify the exact reasons for his dismissal. However, reports suggest that the decision aligns with the administration’s efforts to restructure military leadership, focusing on removing individuals perceived to support diversity and equity initiatives, which some officials have criticized as “wokeism.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been leading this campaign to reshape the Pentagon’s leadership. In addition to General Brown, other senior military officers, including Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti and Air Force Vice Chief General James Slife, were also dismissed as part of this restructuring. President Trump has nominated Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine as the new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Lt. Gen. Caine, a retired three-star general, previously served as the Associate Director for Military Affairs at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from 2021 to 2024. His nomination represents a significant shift from traditional military leadership appointments, as he lacks some conventional prerequisites for the role. Nonetheless, his extensive experience in both military operations and intelligence positions him as a candidate aligned with the administration’s current defense priorities. These leadership changes have prompted discussions about the future direction of the U.S. military and the potential implications of such a significant restructuring within the Department of Defense.

Is this America’s version of a reality show, where each week we tune in to see if he’ll choose door number one or door number two, or just flip a coin and call it a day?
